Memories of the BCA India flourish in me through constant
Interactions with the former Directors of BCA Cochin program. Among them were the founder Directors for the BCA India to build the Cochin program. They were Dr. Bob Keller and Dr. Dorothy Keller. The couple Directors arrived with the ungraduate students from different parts of the USA at a time when the Cochin University students were onintense strike. I had to visit a guest professor staying at the guest house of the University. The couple Directors were at the dining room experimenting with Kerala break fast items. Our friendship flagged off that day. I visited them in Manvvchester and stayed with them. Recently In May 6, 2017, I visited them at Vermont in the USA. Let me express my impressions about both of them.
Dr. Bob Keller: A man of ingenuity,
magnanimity, and determination instilling hope in others to do their best and to be their best. A man of much work and less in conversation. A man of action for others satisfaction. A gentleman tuned to simple life. I am humbled to get him as my informal GURU in my Doctoral work to develop the inventory. Thank you Bob for your invisible presence in my life.
I inadvertently entered to the realm of the Keller family through Dee-my USA friend, and guide. She groomed me to be one of her favorite international loyal daughters! I am so proud of her. I love her for her vibrant personality. I appreciate her boldness to enthusiastically live in Vernont. She brought triumph over long odds. I wish to give the best thermo couple award for them on behalf of all of us, their friends. It is said that different conductive properties of two alloys placed side by side transform temperature in to voltage. They really produce voltage for several others! The life for them at any age will never get blurry. When I am with them, I always feel the crowning touch of their love. Thanks again to Bob and Dee !
