Even though I only had a little interaction with Marshall (he stayed with me a couple times when in St. Louis) he had a great influence on me. He reminded me, as only a handful of people have, of Jesus… Gentleness and sharpness combined in that amazing way described in Jesus’ admonition to “be gentle as lambs and wise as serpents”. I continue to believe that if his key project of separating school and state is achieved, the tide will have finally turned decisively towards liberty.
