I was filling out a questionnaire related to the fact it has been 30 years since I graduated with my BA.
I mentioned a professor who is no longer among us as one of my favorites.
Here's why.
He taught accounting but was really creative on the names for the companies. A lot of them were related to pop culture in one way, shape or form. That always stuck out in my mind, and when I taught a class in business writing I always had to make up the name of the company someone was writing to.
The best example of this was when I told the class that the name of the company they were writing to was called, "Dog and Butterfly." After initial confusion, I mentioned that the founders were into rocker chicks. Those who knew what I was talking about latched on. It made the rest of the exercise fun for all.
On a related note. I know I missed a day. I will double up to make up for it.
