Dick Steffy was one of the most influencial individiual on my career. Not only was he a great scholar but also an outstanding example of how a scholar should comport oneself in relation to students and collegues. All of us who had the priviledge of studying under him have lost a mentor and friend. I feel sorry for the future students who will not have the chance to know him. I He was the true definition of the phrase “a scholar and a gentleman.”
