Rex Stevens

I just happened to look Rex up and was so sad to learn that he has passed. I was fortunate to have him as my freshman advisor at Mercer. He changed the course of my life without ever knowing it. His humaor and his zeal for experiential learning were infectious. I only wish I hadn't waited so long to tell him.

I am so sorry to learn of Rex's death. I am grateful the family chose to allow his obituary to be in the Macon paper, for he had many friends among the students, faculty and staff at Mercer.

Wonderful teacher, and an amazing mind so facile with ironic and humorous concepts and ideas. I loved his class, and his person during my time at Mercer.
