I am saddened to hear this and unfortunately just found out. Dr. Sutherland was a great inspiration to me at HCC. He encouraged me to finish my degree at FSC which I did. He was a great man who loved his family and believed in the power of a good education. He was one of the fairest people I have ever met. May God bless and comfort his family.

Dr. Sutherland is the only professor I remember from my days at FSC from 1984. He was so intersted in his students and their lives and was so friendly to us to all of us. I still think of things he taught me at FSC in Western Civ class and I don't even like hitstory.

Rand, thank you for your friendship and your wisdom. You always had standards even when others might not understand. You quietly offered help when it was needed and others might not know. You will be missed but always remembered with gratitude.
