I had the great honor to interview Mr. Leviness back in the summer of 2015 and thought I would post it again to mark the passing of this wonderful, intelligent, adventurous, empathic man. Everyone's favorite 5th grade teacher. He influenced more people than any other person I've know personally, yet seemed to steadfastly refuse to believe he had any influence at all. RIP Mr. Leviness. YSLY!
