Be more Kevin!!! in 2023 ...

Today it has been one year, since over 120 attended Kevin's funeral and many more joined online - it was a celebration that will remain for with many for a very long time. Below, is the full eulogy, if you wish to remember that day ...

Early in 2020, just before the madness of the pandemic, I wrote a witty treatise on why everyone should be the 'Full Kevin' - looking back, there is little I would change.

Nowadays, I seek new Kevins (there are plenty, tho' none like him) and find other unique educators. You can never replicate someone verbatim, however - we can all take on elements of another personal and graft it into our own. Hopefully, spending 22+ years with Kevin gave me an ounce of his personal.

I encourage all digital technology educators, be it Cisco or otherwise to find their inner Kevin ... geek out! ... nerd out! ... just be enthusiastic with your students, it will make a difference.
