Sometimes a person comes into our lives for a reason or just a season. I am glad that 2017-2018 was the season that I had the pleasure of meeting and establishing a relationship with our friend, colleague, and teacher, Mr. Derrick Williamson. Last year, Derrick visited the Colorado Center for the Blind with Dr. Bell and some of the LA Tech Students and then at the Colorado State Convention where Derrick presented on behalf of LA Tech and the NBPCB. Derrick was one of the reasons that I decided to attend LA Tech where I had the very wonderful experience of having him as one of my instructors. I truly liked Derrick and I will miss him, however, I will always cherish my time with him both personally and professionally. I send my condolences to his family and all of you at LA Tech and LCB who will no longer have him to share with the rest of us. Sincerely, Wayne F.
