I was a graduate student of Professor Botsford in 1998 in Boston.
He was the most fascinating academic I ever met.

I felt privileged to have been his student

Very privileged to have crossed his path and I will keep lovely memories of Keith at his most charming when we enjoyed conversing in French over cups of his deliciously strong coffee! Looking forward to his full autobiography when it comes out in print.
