Gary Hebl: Professor Epstein’s dedication to his students is an unforgettable legacy

Dear Editor: It is with great sadness that I write this letter in honor of the passing of professor Leon Epstein. I was struck with great pain that his obituary read he left no survivors. Although Epstein may not have had any biological heirs, he certainly had many survivors who fondly remember his magnificent teaching ability.

….Epstein was one of the many people at the UW-Madison who had a great effect on me. With their influence, one cannot help but develop a great affection for such a great institution of higher learning.
