The Mentors and Me...
Domenico Ghirlandaio painting of An Old Man and his Grandson An Old Man and his Grandson by Ghirlandaio

The following is an index page of articles about some of the mentors and their effects on me. Some of the mentors knew that they were helping me to understand some issue and others had no idea that I was learning from them by way of their lifestyles. Some of my mentors are no longer with us, but their guidance lives on within me.

Excluding my parents and family, my mentors started with Brooks Oakford. They continued with Louie Palmer, Teddy Roosevelt, George Bernard Shaw, Bob Woodward, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, Bobby Kennedy, T. E. Lawrence, Neil Diamond, Dylan Thomas, Jean Valjean, Carl Sagan, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Gilgamesh, Steve Biko, Don Quixote, Andrea Bocelli, Christopher Hitchens, William Forrester, Anne Perry, Barack Obama, Steve Jobs, Aung San Suu Kyi, James Earl Jones, Randy Pausch, Ibn Battuta, Elizabeth Warren, Andrew Weissmann, Bo Bo Gyi, Eugene Goodman, Michael McFaul, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The following article is a historically and chronologically accurate composite of the mentors I have had in my life.
