That ability to be unabashedly passionate yet composed in executing his ideals.

That ability to be unabashedly passionate yet composed in executing his ideals. The rare balance of vision to see the issues but the stubbornness and self-belief to still push forward. Courtney has those.

You once told me the importance of hand written letters. I remember seeing you post about looking for housing in San Francisco and wanted to reconnect. I never did reach out, even as I rode down the now car-less Market St. that you advocated for. I was afraid that you would see through me, afraid that I haven't grown as a person since we had last spoken. As I read through this hand written letter you gave me eight years ago, I need to thank you for the faith you exhibited in me and hope that I can channel you in the future.
