Not sure what to say?

He was a great teacher of Psychology. Very interesting to listen, see, as my first class in 1965-66. He began my college year, good college years at the University of Akron. RIP.

I was one of those freshman watching him in the 1965-66 year at the University of Akron. I have never forgotten him. He was a great teacher!

To Ann my condolence on the loss of your father.

To the family of Dr. Popplestone,
I was inspired by his teachings on the television monitor at A.U. during the years of 70-74. Thank you! May your soul rest in peace.

To the Popplestone family:

A great teacher for all of us in General Psychology our Freshman year at the U of Akron. He gave great lectures, and even on closed circuit TV you could tell that he loved his subject matter and wanted us to learn about Psychology and its principles. I will not forget him.

How fitting Dr. Popplestone's memorial is Homecoming weekend at the University of Akron. It's been over 40 years since I graduated, and I still remember watching him on TV and the "basic" life principles he taught us in General Psych.... Maybe he's why I got my MS in Counseling..... hmmm. Thank you for the memories.
