A huge impact on my life

I will always vividly remember the moment when Don called me over 20 years ago to tell me, personally, that I had been admitted to the then-LFM program. During my two years in the program, it was always evident how much Don cared about his students, their lives, and their success. He continued demonstrating this every time I saw him in Cambridge or at an alumni event. He never asked a generic, “How are you?” question; it was always something concrete that demonstrated his ability to remember details about my life and career, amongst all of the lives he touched during his career. His teaching, his leadership, and his advocacy will be missed.
