He was absolutely the most brilliant teacher I ever had. He was able to teach me how to learn. He blessed me with his kindness, wisedom and friendship. He opened up my mind to the world. I am saddened beyond my ablitiy to describe my feelings. He got me through a most difficult period in my life; my return from Vietnam. Beyond his academic and scholarly brilliance he was a most wonderful, insightful and caring man. He let me unfold, at my own pace. He was patient, kind and he just "knew things". He helped me heal myself. He saved me. Because of him, and his presence and love during a most difficult time in my life, I was able to go on and live my life even with my scars, wounds and fears. He taught me that all of us, no matter what our experiences, all share our humanity with one another. I loved him. He was also one hell of tennis player, a great partner and had a raucous/outrageous/teriffic sense of humor. Love you Kodge - Whose serve is it?

He also put his neck on the line to bring me out here. Much love to him for that. I was first introduced to Ghana through Dr. Ofuatey-Kodjoe’s Study Trip Abroad in 1998.
