Role Models

I'm currently reading Raising Boys by Steve Biddulph. One of the interesting points he makes is that boys need strong male role models or mentors from the age of about 14. This led me to wonder about who filled this role for me. It didn't take long to come up with the most obvious answer: my Uncle Stan. Unfortunately, Uncle Stan died back in 2002 at the age of 82. I was asked to deliver a eulogy at his funeral but missed this opportunity due a flight cancellation...
