Mine was Finance.

I recall MANY classes like that with Fears. Incredible lecturer, and he knew how to express historical drama, and the right timing to capture huge audiences. I vividly remember the Battle of Cannae with him (among several other historical dramas). I started with classes of perhaps 30-50, and ended my Sr year with him completely filling those lecture theaters...

Wonder if we were in any classes together. I practically minored in Prof. J. Rufus Fears' Ancients courses! He filled my Electives requirements and more!

LOL, Isaiah Thomas was on MY Floor my sophomore year in Foster Quad! He was nice, down to earth, and kinda shy to chat with. I also had Dave Harangody (all Big Ten Tight End), and a bunch of the Hockey Club on our floor... bad-as, FUN floor that year! Several times a week, a bunch of us would have lunch at the dorm cafeteria... Mark Cuban was in Foster (not my floor), and would lunch with us... great guy. The best pizza! Miss that.

Was there in '76 and '81 when IU won the NCAA Basketball. 🙂 Also, was in the Stadium for the Little 500 during movie "Breaking Away" Great times at IU (better than Wabash, and certainly SO much better than Purdue... and also UK) 😄 😄 😄 RR Anon AR Heavy Denarius -Quadrigatus - Didrachm 225-215 BCE Incuse Roma Janus Jupiter Cr 28-3 S 31

I really enjoy these "golds" because of the rich history and interest to me: PERSIA Achaemenid Daris I-Xerxes II 485-420 BC AV Daric 14mm 8.3g LydoMilesian Sardes king wearing kidaris kandys quiver spear bow Incuse Carr Type IIIb Group A-B pl XIII 27 Carthage - Zeugitana AV 1-10th Stater-Shekel 350-320 BCE 0.94g 7.5mm Palm- Horse Head SNG COP 132

Nice one @DonnaML. I enjoy gold: Ancient, World, US, etc. It has a very cool, rich history from early Civilization to some of the odd laws/beliefs we had during the late 1800's, culminating in the 1933 US "banning" of gold. My collection is probably larger than my Ancients. I was of that generation that when I was learning and growing up collecting some coins, that you could not "own" any Gold coins. That probly became my "motivator" to expand my "gold opportunities". 🙂 Several of my favorites are the Mexico 50 Pesos. Neat coins, 1.2 TOZ and you really get the heavy feel and specific gravity of a gold coin: Prussian Coin Germany-Prussia Wlhelm I 1874 A

Mine also, and well as my Grandparent's. Fun times.

Thank you.

I have had two dogs in the past that were named Bucephalus. My Avatar was named Blue, yeah, kinda a legacy to Bucephalus... But, no, have not dealt with Bucephalus Auction.
