He would describe fairness by keeping the so called clean shield as a value of the contribution to his career path. Probably the best definition of him and his life could be covered by the quote of Ms. Loreena McKennitt who wrote: “Every journey brings its own surprises a challenge a sudden detour a new set of friends along the way, perhaps even a destination different from the one you indeed…”
