Another professor gone
Jun. 15th, 2022 12:50 pmI just learned that a professor I liked has passed away: https://www.telegram.com/obituaries/pneo0225834?fbclid=IwAR3yfAQkqqf7ZB6mFBkCtRW4hAUsWh3b6YUBhy22aszLvrC4jJCjSuC6wuc
It was a bit of a complicated relationship I had with him as I very much enjoyed his “history of science” class, but did not pass.
The class required 7 books, and at the time I could only afford the first 3.
So, I did poorly in the tests and failed the class.
He called me to this office after the semester was over and asked how someone who seemed so interested in class could do so poorly.
I explained about being able to afford less than half the books.
“Why didn’t you ask me? I’d have loaned them to you,” he asked.
“I had no idea that would be true,” I replied. “I thought it more likely I’d be told that it was too bad for me. The library doesn’t have them and no one else I know is taking the class.”
“I wish you had asked.”
“I wish you had told the class help was available.”
Despite not passing, I had still enjoyed his class and still thought of him as one of my favorite professors.
I am sad to see he passed.

This is another one I've written out before. (https://fbhjr.dreamwidth.org/661055.html or https://fbhjr.livejournal.com/662310.html )
That has how he showed himself on the internet 8 years ago...
