a fine piece on a fine man

Dave McNett gets a great writeup in today's Olympian. A longtime birder and environmental activist, McNett volunteers every day at Capital, visiting my class now and then to offer observations on life, politics, and language--being an expert in each--in a voice that rasps and crackles like a campfire. If I hadn't met the love of my life, I'd have ended up just like him: a polyglot, polymath bachelor.
