Dear Prof. Esper, Thank you for your supporting for Asia. As an international student, I was so lucky to have your insightful class in WVU.

I worked with George in the Philadelphia bureau of the AP in the summer of 1962. In a 50-year career in the field, I've rarely come across anyone as passionate about his journalism. He was an example for us all. Thanks, George.

With him looking over me, I know I will end up exactly where I...
