David Charles Klingaman

Dr. Klingaman was probably the best professor I ever had, and his style of teaching probably impacted my life more than any other instructor. He was also the hardest grader of any class I ever took. My first exam with Dr. Klingaman was for Econ. 301, Money nd Banking in 1981 or 1982. He gave me an 85/100 - - and that was the tops for the entire class.

And that was why he was such a special professor - - he didn't just teach, he made you think. And he forced you to verbalize...

I took Economics 101 in the Fall of 1971 with Professor Klingaman. He was an interesting and engaging teacher who opened up my brain to a lot of new knowledge.

I´m so sorry for your loss. Sherry, you´re in my thoughts.

We were so sorry to hear of David's passing. You are in our thoughts, Sherry and Ross.

Sorry for your loss Sherry as well as all the family. I always enjoyed our brief conversations. Warm thoughts to all of you.

David Klingaman joined Department of Economics in 1967 when I (RAJ), had already completed two years at Ohio University. In 1968, after my wife Manju joined me here in Athens, we invited Dave and Helen for an Indian dinner at our home. They were open to new cuisines and both enjoyed the evening. After that we frequently had dinners in each other’s homes. Our daughter Vinita and and their daughter Kit were born in 1969 and they were two weeks apart. From that time onwards our friendship...

Kit, I'm so sorry to learn of the loss of your father. You are in my thoughts.
