Janet and family: There are so many memories involving TP during my time at SDSMT that I'd never be able to do it here, in this little space! He made a challenging education fun, and always pushed you farther than you ever imagined possible. His greatest gift to me, was seeing something in me, that I didn't believe, and couldn't see myself. This is a lesson that I try to pass on, and I encourage others to do as well. I had the pleasure to speak with him in 2015 after I received my Ph.D to personally thank him for the courage he instilled in me years before; to do the hard things! From the annual Propson house party for CE seniors, to the Friday "hydraulics lab" at the local pub, to cardigan Thursdays....he is Legend! I trust that you all find comfort in his memory, as I do.
