Randy's mother was my English teacher in High School. Small world. Bummer to lose a brilliant professor, but he certainly has left his mark on the world.

An amazing man from what I've seen in the video. It is really worth the 1 hour 15 minutes to watch it and I recommend everyone do so.

An amazing guy by anyone's measure, but a "hero"? Does that word mean anything anymore?

Good question. Certainly admirable, and perhaps it took tremendous courage to push on and be so public. On the other hand, the folks I've know to be heroic do not see themselves that way, so it's tough to try to use motivation or mental state to define "heroic".

How do people here define "heroic"?
