So sorry to hear of the passing of George Koblyk. My memories go back to George's time at Mohawk College where he was the epitome of a great teacher and adult educator. Innovative, approachable and engaging, George was popular and respected by his students and colleagues. He and his courses were in such demand that any program faculty fortunate enough to have him scheduled for a particular term often thought they and their students had won the lottery. It was no surprise that George was one of the first recipients of the award for excellence in teaching. Our offices were across the hall from each other during those early days of Mohawk's existence, and I feel fortunate that our paths often crossed.
To George's family and friends, please accept my heartfelt condolences.
