It was the Spring Semester of 1982. I was working full-time and carrying a full schedule of classes. Diane Green was not only an instructor, but also a motivator. She earnestly cared for all of her students, especially one who found life at that time challenging.

I remember taking Finance 367 with Dr. Bala Maniam.  He was an enthusiastic and motivational lecturer, and I really enjoyed his classes.

After the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, I left school to join the Marines in 1942, but I do recall a few professors from the early 1940s. From my accounting and typing and office practice classes J. Roy Wells and Sam Cruse were both were very demanding -- more so with Wells than Cruse. Ike H. Harrison, professor of business administration, was every inch a gentleman and could effortlessly stimulate the thought process. In addition, D.H. Fischer, professor of mathematics, pounded home "think..think..think." Victoria Frels, professor of English, was a wonderful person and I was fortunate to have had many discussions with her concerning my homework. I had some difficulties reaching her standards, though, because I worked off-campus and played in the College Dance Band under the direction of Ed Gerlach. The band played in other cities and we had to travel to places such as Beaumont, Laredo, Edinburg and Harlingen. I appreciated Professor Frels' guidance and her patience.

I have to say that Dr. Muehsam and Dr. Griffin were probably my favorite professors.  I like how Dr. Muehsam taught all of the math courses from the bottom up as if you didn't know it (which you didn't unless you were a nerd).  She was a great teacher with a great personality.  Dr. Griffin was a really great teacher also.  And he was hilarious.  I remember how he used to always talk about episodes of his favorite show "The Gilmore Girls".  And in taking his classes, he really peaked my interest in law.

I was a PSY major but enjoyed Economics so much I minored in it and used all of my free electives for economics courses.  Drs. Don Bumpass and Mark Frank were instrumental my intellectual development.
