Many of those reading this probably don’t know who Rodger Swan is or what he did. I can’t say that I knew him personally and I know I never will. Unfortunately he died rather suddenly yesterday. What I can tell you is that he was a teacher working for the JET program in Japan (its a teacher exchange program where foreign teachers go and teach in Japan). He was also a you tuber (someone who posts videos on youtube). Nothing really special I guess, but what stuck out to me is that he had a dream and through his videos you could see that he was accomplishing that dream (that to me is very extraordinary). It is also interesting to me that in this day a person who I have never met, nor who knows me, can have an effect on me, but it does. Technology is a weird thing and it interesting to see how it can shape our interactions with people. Anyhow, I just wanted to say goodbye to Mr. Swan and offer my condolences to his family. If you get the chance I would encourage to go to youtube and check out his videos:
