NEVER FINISHED
Dick wasn't in his office when I stopped by to thank him
for the advice he gave me so many years ago. In fact, his
office wasn't even his office anymore, and its new inhab-
itant didn't recognize Dick's name when I asked about him.
It wasn't until just recently after typing "Richard Davis
Marquette Philosophy" into a search engine that I learned
why. Davis died more than 15 years ago at the age of
61, from an apparent heart attack while on a plane from
Bangkok to Tokyo. I paused pensively for more than a
moment after learning so and thought about the lesson he
tried to teach me more than a quarter century ago, a lesson
that took almost as long for me to fully appreciate: Freedom
Trumps Money.
