Brilliant

I had Dr. Germain as a teacher about a year ago at Phillips Academy, Andover, and after my first day of classes, I knew this man was a genius. Throughout the year, I improved my writing as well as my knowledge and desire to learn. He is quite possibily the best teacher I have ever had. I heard he is retiring this year, and I wish him all the best. In case he reads this, Dr. G, thanks a lot for everything.

Genius

Edward Germain should be up there with Shakespeare and Joyce...his descritpion and research of surrealism is beyond his days.
