Richard V. Pierard

I had the privilege of being a graduate assistant for Dr. Pierard at ISU in 1967-68. At his urging, I was also part of a group he led to the Goethe Institute in Kochel, Germany, in the summer of 1969 -- my first trip abroad. He also provided references for me when I later applied to law school. He had an enthusiasm for his field and certainly opened my mind to European history and travel. My associations with Dr. Pierard and Dr. Clouse are cherished memories of my time at ISU.
