I have been able to work with dozens of wonderful students during every day of my work here at Michigan Tech. This is a list of students which I supervised or helped supervise.  It does not include a much larger number of grad students that I helped as a grad committee member, taught in class or just argued with. And it doesn’t include more than a thousand undergraduate students I have taught in 45 years here.  I was not an overbearing teacher---these people did what they did because I didn’t bother them, mostly.  Even after my “supervision, most of them are still successful people, so I didn’t damage them too much.
