I first met my "Doctor Father" Bo Reicke through his writings. There's no better way to get to know a scholar than through reading their books.
I lived in Prof. Reicke's home my first month in Basel. For three wonderful years he took a deeply personal interest in Becky and me. Even today I hold him in the highest love and respect.
If you ever do a doctorate, I hope your experience with your major professor will be as wonderful as mine was.
