He was my teacher, as he was to so many of us: politically, and even more so personally. At a distance, again as is true for most of us: I only met WFB a few times, and then briefly. He has an enormous number of friends and spiritual godchildren that he never - or barely - knew.
If you'd like to see and hear him again, the Hoover Institution has created a website for Firing Line. You can watch several full broadcasts and lengthy excerpts here - scroll down and use the "Real Media" links.
The Hebrew phrase for a great teacher who has died is "zichrono le'vrachah" - his memory is for a blessing.
WFB - z"l.
