Still my answer. Stanley E. Hilton was a great, great university professor of history.

For you old timers out there, Roider, Paskoff and Hilton are all listed under the history faculty as "recently retired" with the emeritus tag. Hilton has an aol.com email address.

John Lewis Davidson for Business Law is the best teacher I had at LSU. He had a speech impediment and I hung on every word he said. He'd call on you especially if you hadn't read in advance. I finished with an 89 and he wouldn't give me the A. Respect his old school ways!

Reading this thread brought back a lot of memories. At LSU in the mid-80s, there was a world class education available to just about anyone who wanted to seek it out and take advantage of it.

Dah-vee-lah (Davila) for organic dude was trip and the only one I remember by name.

Honorable memtion is the 300 level English professor( Rosenberg or Rosenstein something like that) that gave me an "A" bc I apparently "effectively presented a case in the defense" of Ayatollah Kohmeini. He asked for papers regarding the radicalization of the middle east /shrug. I didn't realize the gravitas of what I had done, getting a Jewish guy to tell me what he did, until much later in life. Wish I could remember his name

Wayne was my undergrad advisor and our parents lived across the street from each other while I was at LSU. Very nice family. His mom was an artist. I have one of her paintings on my living room wall.

Phil Breaux....definitely ( Wednesday Nights in CEBA)

Harry Mokoeba - Political Science, he could not only make International Systems/ Organizations seem interesting, but also hilarious. I remember when he was talking about the different boxing organizations and then comparing them to UN and EU agencies.

Kerry Sauley was a great teacher. I still use his “Done like dinner” phrase.

Gotta love it when he referred to test days as “Gameday” and dressed up in an LSU football uniform.

Roider was great. Made topics I had no interest in interesting.
He also cared for his students & their careers. We emailed back back and forth after graduation and still receive a Christmas card from him in the mail.
He is one of the good ones

Had him for Central European History as the Warsaw Pact was collapsing. We'd spend the first 10 minutes of class going over stories in the NYT.
