1. Dr. Robert Clarke
To
Whom
It
May
Concern:
I
am
happy
to
have
the
chance
to
provide
a
character
reference
for
Dr.
Asa
Don
Brown.
He
is
certainly
worthy
of
the
words
dra?ed
in
this
le@er.
I
have
known
Dr.
Asa
Don
Brown
for
20
years,
since
he
was
18
and
a
freshman
at
Oklahoma
BapHst
University.
I
had
him
in
a
Research
PracHcum
course
in
which
he
learned
the
sources,
principles,
and
methods
of
good
research
in
the
fields
of
religion
and
philosophy,
and
had
pracHce
in
wriHng
research
papers.
He
did
an
outstanding
job
in
that
course,
and
I
got
well
acquainted
with
his
study
habits,
major
interests,
and
personal
goals
since
much
of
the
work
was
individually
tutored.
I
have
had
the
privilege
of
watching
Dr.
Brown
develop
into
a
man.
Over
the
past
few
years,
Asa
and
I
have
been
collaboraHng
on
a
book
with
which
we
hope
to
one
day
publish.
Dr.
Brown
is
a
man
of
his
word-­‐you
can
always
depend
on
what
he
says,
and
you
c
an
always
trust
him
to
fulfill
his
responsibiliHes
to
the
best
of
his
ability.
He
is
good
working
one-­‐on-­‐one
with
others,
but
he
is
also
good
with
groups-­‐friendly,
cooperaHve,
and
likable-­‐
a
leader
and
a
diligent
worker,
always
commi@ed
to
the
task
at
hand.
He
has
an
analyHcal
mind,
good
at
analyzing
a
problem
or
a
situaHon
to
evaluate
its
parts
and
programs,
good
at
organizing
a
program
of
improvement
to
raise
the
standards
and
eliminate
the
faults,
and
good
at
seTng
the
program
out
in
increments
or
secHons
that
can
be
evaluated
and
modified
along
the
way.
He
is
goal
oriented,
always
keeping
in
mind
the
immediate,
intermediate,
and
final
goals.
Dr.
Brown
has
recently
published
a
book
called,
WaiHng
to
Live.
His
book
addresses
the
concepts
of
the
mind,
the
body,
and
the
spirit.
Asa
is
a
fellow
worthy
of
any
pursuit
with
which
he
may
choose.
I
am
certain
that
he
will
prove
a
benefit
in
any
endeavor
that
he
chooses
to
pursue.
Sincerely
yours,
Dr.
Robert
E.
Clarke
Professor
Emeritus
of
Philosophy
