I knew him
That’s my gramps, He was the head of the sociology department at one of the colleges he worked at. He didn’t wean into teaching classes, he was a TA and the professor died suddenly and they put him in charge of all the classes right away. He made an elaborate plan for classes for the rest of the year, and when he told me about it he laughed and said he went through it all in 30 minutes. What you’re really missing are his travels with his wife and four children. They climbed on sleeping Buddha, went to a necropolis, met with dignitaries and royalty when there was such a thing. My mom can tell stories about driving in Shanghai, going to English schools abroad with children of dignitaries and ambassadors. My brother followed his footsteps into academia. He and I both went into social sciences. There’s so much more interesting things about his story. Can you even imagine using a textbook that your grandpa wrote in high school?
