I was working a night visibility case with Mr. Harris.  He wanted me to work the internal car camera, as he worked the internal truck camera. The kicker, I didn't know how to drive a manual transmission. Well, he gave me a great peep talk and some pointers.  I was able to move the vehicle... basically killing the engine every 50 ', but that was the targeted location. Apparently my driving skill gave everyone a chuckle. A week later at a meeting, Mr. Harris presented me with a Golden Left Foot Award for my driving performance.  I still have that award on my desk, along with a thousands stories, and a million awesome memories. He was brilliant, but he was also the most loving and kind human I knew.
