Welcome fastidious readers. Thanks for being here.
We’ve spent this week discussing Miles Sanderson who preferred being called Sanderson, just Sanderson. He was with Max Gavaskar for most of her rise to influence. Many people look to him as one of Max’s mentors. It is said he guided her from behind. Some argue that he was the driving force in Max’s peace movement.
I knew both of them fairly well. Sanderson was not a driver. I wouldn’t say he was a follower either. He was more of an observer who pitched in when he saw a need. When he first met Max she was afraid and alone. He saw that she needed a friend and he made sure that he became one and further he insured that Max had other friends that were trustworthy. I assume that Dusty Waters would have eventually befriended Max but Sanderson urged the Madam to get close to the strange new girl in town.
I don’t think Sanderson ever influenced Max in a was that changed her direction. Max Gavaskar had a driving desire to make logic and reason the guides for morality. She had seen too many times where passion and faith dictated human activity that worked to the detriment of society.
Sanderson was like Max in that way. He was a logical person and based his moral code on logic. I think that is what drew him to support Max and help her when he could.
