This is a wonderful project. Geoff, 11 years ago I took Psychology 101 with your Dad, and he made me fall in love with the subject. He was inspiring, funny, challenging, and so very intelligent. I went on from there and eventually made Psychology my career - and for that I am eternally grateful to him.

Hi Rockethub Family, It's been a week since Geoffrey began this incredible and very personal project to honor his Dad. I'm so very very proud of him! It has been a blessing to watch your acts of kindness and love reaching out to Geoffrey as we all are learning to continue on without Terry with us. I'm tremendously grateful to "Rockethub" and their commitment in helping people share what they are passionate about. What a beautiful universal platform. A special thank you to Geoffrey's professor, Dr. Jeff Pollack for the assignment! Again, my sincere and deepest thanks to all who have supported Geoffrey's desire to honor his Dad in this very special and profound way. May God richly bless you for the blessing you have been to us and all the students who will be the recipients of the Dr. Terry Weathersby Memorial Scholarship Award.

Hi Geoff! I just wanted to say what a beautiful tribute to your Dad, I never met your Dad, but worked with your Mom and have known her for several years! What an amazing woman she is and from listening to you and Jen speak about your Dad at the memorial service all I can say is what a wonderful family and what a credit you and Jen both are to both your Mom & Dad! This is such an awesome project and a great way to support and spread the word about the legacy of your Dad, and I wish you the best of luck with this! I watched your video and it brought a tear to my eye again, a tear of sadness, but also a tear of happiness to see first hand the values that your parents have instilled in both of you! Please know that I have supported you on this project and have also shared it on my facebook page! Take care and best of luck in this endeavor! Eileen

Wow, Eileen. What a kind message. Thank you so much. I think the success of this whole fundraiser has just as much do you with you all as it has to do with us. So, thank YOU for your generosity and compassion for the cause. I'll be sending along a video thank you this weekend, which will be followed by thank yous from faculty and students closer to the end of the effort.

People, I mentioned it to Geoff and I think you might agree; Geoff, your dad has an outstanding testament to the man he was, in you. I'm sure he'd feel overwhelmed by the idea that you would honor him this way. It's a great, living memorial that will touch many lives as I'm sure your father's teaching did. Congratulations to your dad and your family for the man you grew up to be. And thank you for your quick reply to my email. I'll be sure to press on and wish you continued success with your project. Diego
