This is pretty good...I thought it was totally unbelievable, personally. I was in the airport in Tokyo when I noticed someone who looked oddly familiar. As the line brought us closer together, sure enough, it was Weston Noble, a choir director who I'd had (not consistently since he was the director of the super chorale that I was not willing to commit my life too and probably not trained enough to be apart of) for choir festivals at my college throughout the four years that I was in choir at Luther. This guy is completely amazing. I was honored to even say hello much less sit and talk with him for 1/2 hour while we waited for our next flights. He was heading to Guam to direct a choir there, mentioned in wikipedia (wikipedia is amazing) while I was headed for Shanghai. We exchanged praises of the program at Luther, of course. And, we just talked about how nice it is to be a part of the international community, the weather, what he's up to, what I'm up to...good stuff. way cool to run into him to give him a heartfelt and personal thanks for what he's done and the impact he had on my life. He donates every penny he makes back to the college and strolls around picking up cigarette butts off the ground as he walks...he's the reason why I never throw a cigarette butt on the ground...so cool.
