Many years ago, Former Supervisor (FS) and I wrote a paper. I should say HE wrote it and was nice enough to let me be a co-author on it. Every time I go back and read it, I am absolutely amazed at what a good paper it is. I am still not able to write like he wrote when he wrote it. I'm not able to make the connections he makes. I made a couple of good contributions to it, but the genius was his.
I just did math and calculated he was about 6-8 years older than I currently am when he wrote it, so maybe in 6-8 years I'll be able to write with as much insight and aplomb as he......but probably not.
