”The
first words Bill Coplin ever said to me were, ‘How are you going to make
the world a better place?’ That
question forever changed my life. Professor Coplin understood that I had
the capacity to change things for the better. His belief in my ability and
his willingness to back up that belief with constant concern, advice, and
more than a little cajoling made me the ‘do-gooder’ that I am today.
My clients, my co-workers, and my community owe Professor Coplin a
tremendous debt. I am who I am because of him.”
