"Charlie", as he likes to be called, is truly a one-of-a-kind individual. It's hard to explain how instrumental this man has been in so many students lives. Whenever he finally decides to retire they will have to close down SHSU. Thanks for all your hard work and everything you have done to help make students like myself successful in life. Charlie used to say, "If you want respect, you gotta give respect" and that is so true. Charlie...you will not be forgotten!

Dr. Capps III - awesome. I enjoyed how he would welcome student ideas with enthusiasm. He didn't read from a book...he taught from the soul, as a professor should. Thank you for your inspirational leadership. I look back at how the projects and discussions in your class have positively impacted my educational and social skills in life. As a teacher myself, I try to carry on the same impact you had on me but with my students. Thanks!

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.

Dr. Leavell was the BEST teacher I had throughout my college career. He was funny and enjoyable while still getting across the needed information. I kept in touch with him but have since lost touch. Dr. Leavell, if you remember me, you were the BEST! I almost minored in Finance because of you but was really ready to finish school. Posted by Shari Murphy Warschak '98
After reading other stories here, I have to pay respect to probably the best teacher I ever encountered in my life, Carol Lee Sangster. That lady caused me more sleepless nights than one should have to endure but she was also, in the opinions of most of those who had her, what we as accountants inspired to be. She was such a classy lady. We miss you Ms. Sangster and we hope you are smiling down from heaven on all of us who went on and followed in your footsteps.
