Abstract
I must thank Marcello Balduccini and Tran Cao Son for giving me this opportunity to revisit and recount my education with Prof. Michael Gelfond. Not everyone is fortunate to have a dedicated teacher at any phase of life. In this regard, I consider myself to be among the luckiest few to have learned from someone who cares so much about imparting knowledge as part of their students’ education. It has been a couple of years since I have left the Knowledge Representation lab of Texas Tech, and yet it seems not too long ago that I was learning about Prof. Gelfond. It certainly was well before I started learning from him. The ten best years of my life were spent immersed in learning from THE TEACHER among teachers, Prof. Michael Gelfond. Writing in celebration of his 65th birthday is an honor and a fitting tribute to the times well spent.
