If I had known about this guestbook sooner I would have written something long ago.
Professor Bodenrader was the first professor I had at Manhattanville. He enjoyed my writing and I enjoyed his intelligent mind. Quite unrivaled. He was a complete wordnerd and had the travel bug something awful. I would visit him in his office and occasionally have casual travel conversations. I wish I knew him better than I do now but Lord knows I could never forget such an amazing, humble, and outrageously intelligent man. I respect him so much and hearing the news broke my heart in a way I didn't recognize. I last saw him on my graduation day, but because of the ruckus, I never got a proper goodbye from a professor I love so much. I hope your spirit is at peace, and you're traveling the world in a whole new fashion. As long as you're happy.
Thank you professor. The fine art of travel suits you and in my travels, I hope to make you proud...and maybe pick your brain a little with thoughtful insight.
Much Love.
