J.I. Packard who wrote “Knowing God?” If so, what a privilege. Best book (written by man) I ever read. Never have a copy because I always give it away.

I did audit a class under Merrill C. Tenney. Holy man and so humble.

His name is Dr. Robert G. Packard. He joined the faculty at Baylor in 1952.
My dad took his class in the 70s and I took it in the fall of 1996.
He was so far out of our league that the average grade was in the 50s.
But he was a magnanimous man who understood the big picture. He graded on a curve.
I thought I was going to fail but he kept reassuring me.
In the end I got a B.
In hindsight I would have taken that course just for no credit just to hear him speak.
It was a true privilege.
