I remember a quote by Maya Angelou, “People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” (Wouldn’t Take Nothing for My Journey Now, 12). Dr. Naeger, I believe, touched many lives during his vast career. The slippers, I think, were what people noticed first and remembered about him.
