In the early 70s when I was living in Hawaii, Dr. Francis Schaeffer came and spoke at UH. In describing what happened during the 60s, he said something very similar. Professors were teaching at the time with no thought of the consequences, and the students rose up to carry out what they had learned. I’ll never forget Dr. Schaeffer saying, almost shouting, “And they [the students] did it! They did it!”

My family put on a luau for him and his wife. I’ll also never forget meeting him, feeling that in that moment he was giving me an absolute attention I had never experienced, and knowing that I was meeting an extraordinarily humble man.
