Dear Jeff, I’m writing to thank you for having put me on my current — and extraordinarily positive — career path. Without your wisdom and guidance, it’s hard to imagine my having the personal and career joy I now experience. You helped me to find a better future and sense of self. When I think of how many people you’ve done this for over the years, it makes me very grateful to call you a friend, mentor, teacher and more.
