Dear Leon - I could never thank you enough for the enlightenment you brought to me during my grad school years at UWM. A wonderful mentor, along with Richard Perlman, Mel Lurie, you always invited me to join the econ faculty for lunch, and Friday afternoon beers and pizza at that great old bar on Oakland. To an enlightening economist and truly wonderful human being, thank you so much. Bill Sloniker (Nayarit, Mexico)

Dr. Schur was one of my favorite professors as a student at UWM.
