Miss Marple Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 We enjoyed many of Dr. Fears Teaching Company lectures during our homeschool years. He had just finished a lecture series that the University of Oklahoma is making available to the public. http://newsok.com/ou-professor-j.-rufus-fears-dies/article/3716839 http://freedom.ou.edu/ - this is the link to the lecture series. I intend to watch these over the holiday. He was truly a gifted professor, lecturer, and storyteller. We are richer to have learned from him.

elegantlion Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I heard of his passing a little bit ago. We're listening to Famous Greeks right now. Yes, rest in peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimmermom3 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 I am sorry to hear that. I only lately learned to appreciate his skill as a lecturer, now that I am the proud owner of the Famous Greeks course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swimmermom3 Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 What are his other must-have courses? We are replacing all of our builder's trim with new Craftsman-style trim and doors. The painting is endless and TC lectures are my greatest source of relief. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Marple Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Two of the most recent we've enjoyed are: The World Was Never the Same-Events that Changed History and Books that Made History, Books that Can Change Your Life. Of course, his more well known Greeks and Romans are great as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
