When we think about Terry Sanford, we think about the influence, I would dare say, from another angle of an educator, knowing that his influence was, indeed, infinite; that a great educator knows how to pass on his ideals from generation to generation; that he can improve and uplift the lives of scores of other folks long after the original teacher has moved on or passed on. Terry Sanford was the consummate educator and, fortunately, for us, his influence is, indeed, infinite.
