I will always his ability to quell a rowdy room full of backlogged students by stumping them with a tough academic question that he seemingly would think up on the spot. He always inspired me to improve not only my own battery of questions, but also my level of understanding of our craft. I'll always remember how hard he laughed the time we threw coasters like frisbees at each other in the office just out of sight from our students, and mine hit Mr. Mountain’s computer screen while he was trying to work. I swear, I saw my life flash before my eyes, and Shawn saw it too.
