Read MoreDr. Simpson was a mentor of mine when I went to what was then USL. He was immeasurably kind to me, but no more so than he was to everyone. We have lost a great man of the Great Generation, and we will miss him.

He was bayoneted in the chest by the Japanese. He was also sweet on Herbert Eugene Bolton's granddaughter. I thought the world of him. God bless you and yours Dr. Baker.

He was simply the best! Because of him I am still an avid reader of history and feel I am a better person because of him. He made you want to be to best you could be. God bless Professor Simpson.

The man who made history come alive for me! It has been many years since I graduated, but his lectures are still as vivid to me today as they were then. My thoughts are with you, Vaughn.

I am terribly sorry, but I know he lived a long, wonderful life.

Dr. Simpson? He could explain history better than anyone else I ever met. In 1958 he asked the question in class "What generals beat the Germans in Russia in WWII?" "Generals January and February" he said. I never forgot it, and knew from then on that Russian winters were very cold.
