Richard Role: My First Grad. Advisor

You taught me the price of time and the feeling of those who have to wait by being late at all time.

You broke into private gardens and buildings and afterward you told us that rules were meant to be broken with good intention.

You got us several embarrassing moments and almost got us killed once while you were driving in Germany in your Mercedes.

You gave me your concern by telling me how good your salmon was in the breakfast of different hotel while we were having bad sausages because you remembered I loved salmon.

You showed us how valuable books were by visiting every bookstore and have us brought them back on our backpacks on our train journey while you flied empty bags.

You told us that beauty alone was not going to work and graded us by how colorful and artistic our works were.

You made me believe that anything could be changed at any time even when it was a few hours away before the final presentation.

You proved us the important of good communication by keeping your mouth shut while we got screwed by the critics.



But more important than those above:


You brought me to the place I have never been to and I do not think anyone would do the same as you do.

You taught me the things that were not written in the words direct and indirect.

You opened my eyes to the wide world and showed me that there are more to see.

You made me believe in good intention that if we meant to do something good we do not have to fear.

You made me love my friends more because at that time we have the same problem ... and it was you.

You were the one who remembered my birthday and set one of our regular trip meals into my birthday party in a small restaurant in Torino.

You gave me a value experience that I would not trade for anything.

You already proved that there are always two sides of the coin ...

That is why I still have so many memories about you and that brings smile to my face every time I think of them.


You might be just anybody to others,
But to me, you are somebody.
You are my first advisor to my whole new world,
And you will always be.

Best regards,
May you rest in peace,

Your Student of Class 2001
