George Whitford. He was a British Commando during the 2nd World war and once he was shot in the head 2X behind enemy lines and lived to talk about it. After the war he and his wife moved to Canada they were very grateful to be here so they bought a tandem bike and peddled from the east coast of Canada to the west coast of Canada (so one of the impacts he made on me was to be gratefull for being alive and living in a great Country. He and his wife also opened a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center that had a very good success rate plus he would walk the streets of east Vancouver late at night and hand out free sandwiches and coffee to drug addicts and the homeless (so another impact he had on me was to start helping the needy). He was also very community minded and he helped turn me that way too. Cheers!
My children, no contest. I didn't know how intensely I could love another person until my daughter was born, and the experience also matured me in a hurry.
Ed Howard. From Cleveland, Ohio. Stanford educated journalist. Deep, mellow base voice. When I was 18, I moved into his place. Stayed together 2 1/2 years. Introduced me to ethical investment and alternative lifestyles. Many of his values stayed with me throughout my life and influenced my choices.

Definitely my Spiritual teachers who all spoke as one being, one voice, from the ocean of consciousness. That's why I can't name one as being more influential or having more of an impact than another.
