Thank Your Mentor Day

Apparently today is Thank Your Mentor Day, and while I'll never keep up with these unofficial official days, I am nothing if not grateful. Though I've never followed anyone as closely as I think the mentor-mentee relationship implies, there are several people to whom I especially owe my current values. Fortunately I thanked them all at the time and don't need to do it here, but they all gave me a glimpse of greatness I don't know that I'll ever achieve but will always pursue.
