My favorite was probably Cecil Jarman. They brought him back out of retirement. It was an Intro to Religion sort of class. A large class, like 30, 40 kids. The Bookstore did not have the required book for one, maybe 2 or 3 weeks. That came up during a class and all of us were basically whining that they do not have the darn book, yet. Prof. Jarman just lets everyone vent. Then there's a pause. We are all waiting for hm to speak, expecting him to solve our problem. But, he just looks at us and says, "I'm sooo sorry." And he meant it. But, he also meant there was nothing he could do. He was a very kind man and a true Christian. He was very impressive. He mentioned once in passing that his hometown in North Carolina was having a "Cecil Jarman Day." I bet they did.
Frank Reuter was great. His son died during our semester. Yet, I do not recall him missing a class.
Ben Proctor was the best teacher by far. In a Texas history course, he always managed to leave the class on some exciting moment in Texas history and you just looked forward to the next class to find out what happens next.
