In a word “Great!!” Among all of the Professors of Mathematics that I knew when I was at UMW, Larry was among the very best. When I called the University of Virginia Mathematics Department Chair (when we were hiring a new faculty members), he responded to my question “Could you tell me about his ability to create new mathematics?” with very positive statements — “Larry was exceptional, world-class, i.e., not one of those who just showed up — Larry could and indeed did create new mathematics — a very rare talent….
the rest is history. We hired Larry.
