My Life by Bill Clinton5/23/2023 ![]() I really felt that my early years with him convinced me that I could organize and run things. I stayed in touch with him on and off until he passed away. He thought that everybody was good at something and if he just looked hard enough he could find it, he could convince them of it, and he could raise their aspirations and their hopes. But always he was trying to find things that people were good at. And he taught us basic organizational skills and how to allocate resources and move things around. We put on the state band festival every year, for example, and he let lots of us help. He also was always looking for things that young people could do besides play music. He took a personal interest in kids, and seemed to instinctively know when they were having trouble at home or having trouble in school, and always to know what to say to them and more importantly maybe what questions to ask to find out what was really going on in their lives. He was quite good, but he was a world-class human being. Not because he was a particularly great band director. ![]() ![]() My high school band director, Virgil Spurlin, had a huge impact on my life. ![]() William Jefferson Clinton was the 42nd President of the United States.
