Dear Editor: I compliment Rep. Gary Hebl for his recent letter to The Capital Times about UW political science professor Leon Epstein, and join in that tribute.
Professor Epstein also made a tremendous impact on my education and career. I was lucky enough to have him when I was a student at UW-Madison and to count him as a friend and mentor. Professor Epstein leaves behind a tremendous legacy at the University of Wisconsin, not just on the department, but also on the lives of his students who were fortunate enough to learn from him during his long and accomplished career.
