Brandeisian(s) who most influenced your life
Poet and former Brandeis professor Allen Grossman, PhD'61, who told me I was better equipped to understand "The Iliad" as an 11-year old boy (when I’d read the Classics Illustrated comics version) than I was as a college student.

How do you stay connected to Brandeis today?
A few friends and occasional visits to campus.
