TO THE EDITOR:
“The art of storytelling, its the most powerful way to put ideas into the world,” Fred would say.
Throughout human history, people would gather around together, whether by the fire or at a tavern, and tell stories. Along with the basic needs of nourishment, shelter and companionship, stories that reach the human spirit are the thing we need most in the world.
You come to realize that an education isn’t how much you have committed to memory or even how much you know. A great teacher is someone who makes us more compassionate, more thoughtful, more human.
Look to the person next to you and share your favorite moment about Fred Clark, whose story must always, always be told.
