Steve Fobister

I arrived two hours ago at the Place Luis Riel Hotel and found Steve waiting for me in the lobby. He arrived last night, with his grandson.

We’ve been telling old stories and he’s just retired for his 4 pm nap.

All the events are still to come, and I’ll do some reporting, but for now I needed to say this, upfront and on it’s own, and right away:
Fairly recently I realized that I have known one great man. And what makes a great man? The version I consider starts with a good man who does good things. But there’s something more to greatness. Maybe something like, a defining self- sacrifice informed with genuine humility.

I am with that great man now.
