"Justin Cammy lectured on a cruise I went on and I attended all his lectures with more enthusiasm than a grad student! He spoke about a poet I had never heard of, and I hung onto every word, suddenly fascinated by this obscure topic. I think he could talk about a rare insect and I'd be enchanted. He is also a lot of FUN! He would have great conversations in the ship lounge with everyone until late in the evening. One of those people who everyone else wants to be around." - SBMA Traveler
