While I lived in Granville through ‘83 and never took Norman’s economic classes, a fond story of Norman nonetheless. I was walking through the quad one day and banged on the window of his class to say hi to my brother and Melvin and Kevin Poi.........kept walking.......Norman sent someone out of his class to track me down and brought me into his economic class. He thanked me for interrupting his class and asked I listen to his lesson for 10 minutes with the condition if I got all the answers correct on his short-lesson to me/the class.......the entire class could be let out 30 minutes early and if I did not provide the correct answers I would have to stay the entire class. You might guess but yes I got the questions correct......the lads were cheering and heading out of class........as I turned leaving his classroom there was Norman smiling ear to ear and chuckling.........I knew then and there he had a heart of gold.......and almost 40 years later I know that to be true.
My condolences to his family. He will be missed by many.
