Very intelligent, knowledgeable and informative man on the subject of Genghis Khan. Only knew of Mr. Kravitz through the Khan Expeditions, (History Channel), but he kept me glued to the television the entire hour, and had me wanting MORE!! Condolences to his family/loved ones/colleagues.

wow! What a surprise. To Mona,Sheryl, and Frannie, my heart is heavy at this moment. your dad was an inspiration to me and the reason i do what i do today. When i would walk into his office and see his wall of degrees and cert. i said to myself
"i can do that" at that point i left the trading business and became a school teacher. Thanks Maury
