It Came from Bill

On behalf of Francis Chow, EWMBA 2007:
I still remember the class when we were supposed to do impromptu
speeches. I got a topic which I had little idea about, and started making
things up to finish the speech. Bill yelled at me, "you have to tell
the truth. You can't make things up in a speech. Speak with integrity."
I thought that was an over reaction, but it was an important
lesson. I was not a good speaker but Bill's teaching jump-started
my journey of public speaking. I am lucky enough to win some
speech contests since, and I have to attribute the non-lucky part
to Bill. It came from him. He is a good man. We will miss him dearly.
