I had the wonderful opportunity to learn from Dr. Collins in the Ph.D. program at UCR many years ago. His prestige lifted the status of the sociology department at UCR in the 1980's and 1990's. He is a brilliant Theorist, and I have never met anyone who could put all the pieces together the way he can. I owe much thanks to Dr. Collins. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.205.54.2 (talk) 08:55, 23 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
