Dr Botsko was my Calculus teacher at Saint Vincent College. He truly was my favorite teacher in all my years of schooling. Rest in Peace, Sir!

After flunking calculus in high school in 1975, I took calculus I and II from Dr. Botsko at SVC in 1976. He made me a calculus superstar! Dr. Botsko was the finest teacher I ever had, without a doubt. RIP Michael.
