My father was a ag college prof back in the mini-boom which resulted after the first oil crisis in the early 1970's. Some of his students came to him for advice on what whether they should continue with college and take on debt or take jobs as welders out in the oil fields of Western North Dakota which paid very well.

Most of them were farm boys, some from that part of the state. My Dad told them to take the jobs because college would still be here and the boom might not last. The administration came down hard on him and demoted him for his honesty.

Almost to a man, the kids whom he advised came back to college after the boom ended, with more than enough savings to see them through until degree time, and thanked him for his honest and sound advice. Some of them even set up a fan page for him on Facebook, even though he has been gone nearly 20 years now.

Sometimes Greatness is defined by how people remember you.

Wow, that’s a really nice thing. He probably taught those kids more than they could learn in a lifetime from a leftist professor. You are fortunate to have had him for your father. God bless him.
