ever an influence, down at NKU! (Jubal)
Hi Jubal,
I remember making that diagram for chemistry class. I didn't know that
it is still being used as an example. Thanks for the story!
Please give my regards to Julia Bedell!
Best,
David
: Well,,,
: in my Chemistry 100 course at Northern, taught by a : professor
Julia Bedell, the class had gotten to : acids/bases, and more
specifically, how batteries : work.
: Prof Bedell (a very good teacher) likes to take the extra : time
to incorperate the class into various examples, : when teaching a new
concept... and on this ocasion, : she had prepared a dissected car
battery for display, : as well as a smaller (looked to be a AA)
alkaline : battery, dissected on a stand, with a chart behind it :
labeling the parts. The alkaline battery display, she : introduced as
the work of a student whom she had : taught eight years ago (or so),
who later became a : cartoonist and returned as an alumni to speak. I
: immediately thought -"No, it couldn't be!" : (I only know of one
other "cartoonist" who : graduated NKU about that time, Todd Hueser,
but he : never returned to speak, to my knowledge).
: So I waited until after the class ended, and asked if she : could
remember the student's name who made the : display. She couldn't right
away, but did remember : that he had an impressive portfolio of :
asian-influenced art. Immediately I was like, : "Was it David Mack?"
and to her answer in : the affirmative, I said "Yeah, I'm a fan of his
: work!" She was delighted, and related that she : used the
display quite often, because people liked the : colorful way it was
composed, and it still held up : well (though she did remark that the
text was a bit : too small). I told her I would report this story to
: the message board here.
: Anyway, it gave me a chance to have a nice conversation : with a
respected faculty member, which also provided a : cool little twist on
how I looked at the rest of that : day. Like, am I truly giving all
I've got on all of my : projects, and will what I do be remember after
i'm : gone?
: And, through this life strange and wonderful, it is nice : to see
examples of others who HAVE (and are) putting : out 100% and create a
resounding effect on their : environment. Not to get too deep in
philosophical : mind-ramblings... but I thought it was worth :
recounting! : Jubal
