I have to name two.

My middle school band director, Perry Dornbusch. A wonderful man, and motivator. He loved music, and it was infectious. A friend to this day.

Don Little, UNT (University of North Texas) Tuba professor. That is where I did my undergrad, and (since I took a LONG time to get it) I learned quite a lot from him. We went from butting heads during my first years, to becoming cordial later, and in the last years to this day, he and I get along great.

Finally, I have to say, I am getting my Graduate degree from University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and from just the small amount of time I have had with Alan Baer, I have learned quite alot, and can't wait for the school year to begin.
