Dr. Sadler, thank you sharing your memories of this wonderful person with us. It is awesome that you can look back and see the one who helped you to go in the right direction and end up doing what you do. Inspiring those who you teach to rise to higher philosophical ground. I listened to the short audio clip and I can hear why he was a good teacher. I could hear the love of what he was talking about in his voice.
Well, he's not "the one". More like one of the one - I've been lucky that way. It's unfortunate that I wasn't able to appreciate how good of a teacher he was back when I was a teenager!
If you haven't seen it yet, this video of Perry speaking to a Seattle Rotary Club about the importance of the arts for culture, education, and humanity is worth a look.
Thank you for your beautiful and moving tribute to one of this world's greatest teachers who never tired of "flashing" his Catholic Card at any lecture he could, or opening the door to heaven through whatever topic he was given. We all miss him still and are grateful to have been his students ❤️.
Lovely to read ~ Perry Lorenzo is among the greatest influencers of my life ~ So very much I could say about him as a teacher (Kennedy HS), and coach (of Speech & Debate), and his truly phenomenal era as educator for Seattle Opera, especially as he took opera education out into the community. Perry was the kind of orator who kept you, at once, dazzled, humored, and deepened. So very much I could say about such a tremendous soul.
Sincerely,
Someone who first met Perry as the coach of the *opposing* debate team and found in him a lifelong mentor and friend
