I had him for one history class in college...the guy knew his stuff, when he could get it out without putting you to sleep that is...Scott is a friend of mine as well. We have many chats about the hockey team when we run into each other on campus.

Thoughts and prayers for the family in what is certainly a difficult time, especially with less than a month until classes start

He was my advisor for a year when I was a history major. My favorite memories of him were when he'd jam himself up against the chalkboard with the lectern, and he'd slowly begin to fall one way or another. He was not in great health but was an excellent teacher.

Enjoy your new home, Mr. Blass.

That reminds me of Tim Conway playing the old man skit.
