Neil Anstead, I had the pleasure of learning from you. Your voice remained soothing and passionate. Your love for educating and music is what I remember. I think of you randomly through all these years. May you rest in peace. You took me to my first opera. I remember your stories of earthquake waves and first time you've seen a ball point pen. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passions with your students all these years. We think of you. Thank you
