"But his third imperative, generosity, was where he succeeded beyond all others. I knew Ben as my teacher, my employer and my friend. In each relationship, just as with all his students, employees and friends, there was an absolute open-ended, no-scores-kept generosity of ideas, time and spirit. If clarity of thinking was required, there was no better place to go. And if encouragement or counsel was needed, Ben was there."
