Before cheating, you could have allowed some people to guess. Bonus 2 What was his first sports position ? I won't give away the answer, but one hint is that this "sports position" was where he first met his future mentor, Marty Glickman. Go for it Bison

That may be true But my fact may have come before that, or at least simultaneously.

Around 1955 when Marv Aufrichtig was 14-15, he was the president of the Kenny Sears Fan Club. I was a 9 year old member of the Jim Baechtold Fan Club. When the two clubs merged during a heated meeting, the result was the first NY Knicks Fan Club with Marv as the president. This probably led to his Knick ball boy days.

What would your Theology prof say ? Freshmen year for Old Testament, he allowed us to use the Bible to cite our essays for the mid term and the final. That particular Old Testament class was taught from an Archeological standpoint. Using the Bible was not considered cheating for that course. 😊 Father McGrady, perhaps? I believe I had him for both Bib Lit-NT and Bib Lit-OT -very enjoyable courses.

Alexander Stecker was the lecturer in Old Testament, at HC, after studying at Brandeis. His background was very interesting and unusual at the time to be teaching at HC. A former Catholic, who converted to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. One of the most enjoyable courses at HC. It sparked an interest in me to learn more about archeology, with considerations about the field. Here is an article from 2008, regarding Hanukkah. www.heraldextra.com/lifestyles/hanukkah-101-learn-the-basics-of-jewish-holiday/article_468f3db5-6ed5-54c4-9625-a9e4654f4856.htmlMany years after I had the Old Testament - Archeology course at HC, one of my daughter’s college roommates, received her PHD in archeology and teaches at a PAC 12 University specializing in Archeology and Anthropology. I have enjoyed talking to her regarding her thesis and her adventures in the Middle East. Almost as exciting as Indiana Jones.

I had Alexander Stecker; different course, but very enjoyable. Can't remember the name of it, but it the course was based on 20th century literature that in one way or another related to religion.
Almost died when I saw his reading list, it was quite extensive; but there wasn't a dull book in the works we discussed.
Remember he was also a behind-the-scenes contributor* to that year's edition of The Tomahawk (does that still exist?). Very witty man.
*one of the few things I directly remember about any class I took in college....someone in class said to him "did you see that item in the Tomahawk?" (which looked similar to some things he had said in class).....his answer "see it?. I wrote it!".
