Message: [QUOTE="Improviser, post: 3591535, member: 10683"] I must digress too if I am permitted, and say about Dr. Kort (who I had as an instructor in the late 1960's) that he was brilliant and organized, and when I revisited UConn maybe in the late 1980's or early 1990's, about 20 or more years after my graduation, I saw him at the then new and beautiful indoor pool at UConn. I introduced myself though I don't think he remembered me. I chatted with him and his wife. He was an avid swimmer she told me and that he went every day to the pool. He appeared fit and trim. He was gracious and though he did not remember me, asked about what I had been doing since graduation. In every way, he was a distinguished gentleman.

A very interesting life story. [/QUOTE]
