Letters: Jazzed about Bike Safety

Your article on Professor Richard Davis [“Life Lessons,” Fall 2011 On Wisconsin ] was great. I was a student of his in 1997 and can attest to his commitment to his students. In one year, I learned ten times more about playing bass than I had learned my whole life up to that point. In his Black Music History class, before class he found out some bicycle riders did not wear helmets. So he bought all the riders helmets as a way to encourage people to ride safely.
