JMNR letter to Rochester Review, 2000, vol 62 no. 2

"Al Geier was a singular inspiration to my life as an educator and person. He spent time with his students inside and outside the classroom. I have never taught a class that did not include a quote from one of his classes. The two years I spent working with him through the Republic shaped my world view. The notebooks from that time are some of my most valuable possessions.

You should have also noted the great contribution to classical studies of the philosophy department's Deborah Modrak. She makes Aristotle and Plato breathe. Her concern for her students is only matched by her phenomenal scholarship. She made a reality for me of the notion of the teaching scholar.

With models like this, I have never regretted choosing Rochester."
