Bill Fletcher was my high school composition and choral teacher (story in yesterday’s hometown paper): http://www.concordmonitor.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080424/ENTERTAINMENT/804240310/1043/NEWS01
Bill’s a great teacher and artist, with deep and diverse influences. He’s a natural creative who imagines possibilities and believes in his students — he elicits their best through his confidence and optimism. I love this guy.—–
