"Boyar was like a piece of heaven."
"I spent four wonderful years in Boyar. I slowly became the Moshe I am today. A citizen of the world, successful, educated, and confident. I sometimes stop and wonder what would life be for Moshe without Boyar, and I chase that wonder away – since I know that would have been a gloomy story."
~ Moshe Tamir, Boyar '67
