Hey Mike,

I remember having Dr. Hoehner as well, for Greek and Intro. to the NT (I think it was called). He was a scholar, one with an hilarious sense of humor. Several humorous - good, good memories - that quickly come to mind are:

First, there were those initially groaning (to non-Texans anyway, we just didn't get 'em) but grow-on-you Aggie jokes.

Second, he was almost always involved in graduating class skits, playing a part were the punch-line got a standing belly-laugh.

Third, every Christmas there was his version of the classic, "Hark Harold, the Angels Sing." This still gets me to smile and chuckle every Christmas.

Fourth, Tony Evans began a chapel sermon one time, naming a few professors who he remembered and was thankful for and when getting to Dr. Hoehner he said, to the roar of the whole audience, "and my old nemesis, Harold Hoehner."

Thanks for the news Mike, though not necessarily pleasant. Dr. Hoehner was a great man and I will always remember him as a scholar who really knew his stuff and a professor who could really make you laugh.

Scott
