Milton Thomas Dooley

Would have never passed physics with out Mr. Dooley. He was a great story teller and related physics to everyday life and made it easier to understand. I´ll never forget our final. We walked in and he had this written on the chalkboard and we had to figure it out together as a class. "MR DUCKS. MR NOT DUCKS. OSAR. CM WINGS. LIB. MR DUCKS. ".

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Dooley´s passing. He taught me calculus (and life lessons!) at Bishop McGuinness in the early 1990´s and he remains one of my favorite teachers of my academic career. I studied the "Dooley quotes" in my notebook ("Mankind does dumb things", "Never fall out of a Ferris Wheel") as much as the equations. He holds a special place in my memory and heart and I am grateful to have had him as a teacher.

I was saddened when I recently heard of Mr. Dooley´s passing. My heartfelt condolences to his family. Whenever I´m asked who were the most influential people in my life, Mr. Dooley is one I always list. His approach to teaching/learning was unlike any prior teacher I had had. He maintained demanding expectations that upset many. He expected his students to read, listen, question, and practice, practice, practice. He was cranky, sharp, witty. One question quizzes each Friday, fold...

I am sorry to hear about T. I always enjoyed my time spent with him and Jan at the cabin in Wilkes, business dealings with Tom and Amy and visiting the motel in Missoula--went there three four different times. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
