This is one of the best threads on this board. It just shows that after all the arguing, debating, etc, that we are all TECH people. Maybe after reading this thread, we won't be "those internet guys" anymore. :icon_wink:
My name on this board is named after Dr. Richard B. Howe.
What was your relationship to him?
That would be his son R.C. Howe!! He looks and drinks just like his dad!!:icon_wink:
best TEACHER, by far, was dr. fracis jones. he would fill up two full-wall chalkboards deriving a formula, then go back and erase the first part so he could finish it, but he was a truly great teacher. i learned more from his transport class than any other class at Tech. he was denied tenure because the bean counters said he wasn't published enough. sick.
dr. ronald thompson was also a superb teacher and amazing person.
dr. baron's cryo class was great.
dr. dixie griffin: "interfere not in the affairs of wizzards, for you are crunchy and good with catsup."
True dat Bergo Jr!!!!!That would be his son R.C. Howe!! He looks and drinks just like his dad!!
Dr. John Price. Embarassed the hell out of me one day in class for not paying attention (still got an A, thank you very much) A couple of years later we were doing a play together and I brought up to him how much of an a$$ he was to me that day. He just laughed and laughed... Great man, and wicked sense of humor.
Dr. Samaha was in the same play...gave me the creeps then...thanks DFM for bringing him back into my memory...thought that memory was erased.
Favorite was Mrs. Mitchell for English (think her first name was Ruth). I think she passed away a few years ago, but I'll never forget her starting the quarter with gray hair, but very slowly was a brunette by the end of the quarter. Venus Lacy sat beside me and we'd always talk and wonder how she dyed her hair so slowly. Never seen anything like that in my life.
Dr Wylie and I never got along. Still don't like the man.
Other than that, I don't remember too many professors from my undergraduate days.
I was around during that. My favorites were the dice making the trip to Texas Stadium and being dangled over a wet well with a pitchfork. I think that went on for about a year!
I was in class with him the day the dice were returned. Three LOUD knocks on the door followed by a guy dressed in a Grim Reaper outfit (best I can remember) walked in and tossed the dice to Griffin. He started to turn and walk out when Dr. Griffin asked him who he was . . . the guy turned and took the mask off. Can't remember WHO it was now! One of the best, and longest, practical jokes I have ever withnessed.
Anna Mitchell...a very nice lady.
I'm an asshole! What's your excuse?
