I don't really know what to say about Roy Mcdonald, there are just so many different ways to talk about him. I think of him at once as my grandfather, my teacher, my friend, and my coworker. Roy and I share no blood ties, no scholastic ties, no social ties, and no professional ties; when you look at it we're just two guys who bump into each other. But that doesn't mean he isn't important to me; Roy is probably one of the most important people in my life.

Fifty one years my senior Roy is probably one of my closest friends. Since we met, we've been having coffee semi regularily, and we've started getting together on a triweekly basis. When we get coffee I'm not sure we really talk, or chat; for some reason confer seems to be the verb of choice.

I'm sorry I can't finish this right now...
