Stephen, it has been my pleasure to get to know you.  Your kindness and caring are so obvious and welcome.  You certainly have made yourself accessible and available for us students.  And it has been fun to spend time with you both in and out of the classroom, and to witness your sense of humor along with your characteristic sweetness.

I look forward to a deepening relationship with you and the rest of my ayllu mates post graduation.  I love our lineage and am sometimes overwhelmed with gratitude by the teachings and how they have profoundly affected my life.  I am looking forward now to continuing the journey by joining you in Peru.

Love you brother.
