A Great Historian Bring The Past To Life In The Present

I had the honor to be a student of Dr. Lewis at U. of Texas (as well as his next door neighbor). He brought the beautiful, powerful, incredibly complex & often overlooked reality of Byzantium & its vast influence on the world of its time. A true scholar and an inspiring teacher to a student struggling toward a dream of becoming a Medical Physician, instilling a love of history & a discipline of looking deeper, which stood me well in my medical career. Thank you, Dr. Lewis. You were an inspiring angel in my young life.
