    Tim Hoxha does an incredible job

    Dr.Tim Hoxha was instrumental and the driving force behind this entire production series. Outstanding series on the American 1950s. Dr.Tim Hoxha not only brought the knowledge, expertise , and incredible positive spirit to the series , he also made everyone feel valuable. Without Dr.Tim Hoxha, this series would have never existed. 10 Stars, and his Tenure at Harvard left an indelible mark on the department.
