I would like to say this,” Grace said. “What does the word great mean? Webster’s dictionary defines it like this, and I quote: ‘Remarkable in magnitude, degree, or effectiveness.’ My father had his faults. Who doesn’t?

But in his chosen field he had no peers. He stood alone. He was remarkable in magnitude, degree, and effectiveness. He was great.”
