His name was Randy Pausch, and also taught in US

Quote

In October 2007, Dr. Oz met Randy Pausch, a father of three and college professor who was dying from pancreatic cancer. Dr. Oz says people like Randy are the reason he went into medicine.

I am not surprised you did not notice it, I posted it almost 2 years ago LOL.
I have watched the video twice I think and he really was an inspiration to everyone who knew him.

Jeff, Basil is talking about the post you made on the 12th, not the one you posted 2 years ago, LOL. He has been having problems with sporadic e-mail notices.
