Dear Matty, Lula and all the Hutchinson family, I will never forget my first meeting Pat and Chris, and staying at their home in Letchworth. They were the parents I wish I could have had. So kind, thoughtful and gentle. Later, when my conversations with Chris were held in Berry (after a dip in the pool), I always enjoyed the intellectual challenges (which, to be honest, were usually way out of my depth) he threw my way. I loved his sincere and genuine commitment to disseminating learning tools and knowledge. We didn't always agree regarding pedagogy, but neither of us cared about agreeing. I know I always went away with a lot more to contemplate than what I arrived with. Chris was a genuinely good human. I'm thankful I had some time with him.
