I had the pleasure of taking my very first college mathematics course from Dr. Leo Schneider, Honors Calculus I, in the fall of 1980. I was new to everything college had to show me, and amazed at how Dr. Schneider treated us as adults, trusting us to do our work and even trusting us with individualized exams. In his plaid coat and bow-tie he made me love college! After my time at JCU and the strong education there I went on to get my PhD and teach at the State University of New York in Potsdam. I lost touch with most of my friends and mentors but never stopped remembering Dr. Schneider with a smile. Several years ago I discovered that Dr. Schneider was the current treasurer of Pi Mu Epsilon and was coming to Potsdam for our annual induction ceremony. I was excited and nervous to see him again, knowing how I had aged and wondered if we would even recognize each other after 20 years. When I finally got to see him again, he looked exactly as I remembered him (but no plaid or bow tie) and I was relieved and happy to give him a big hug. My chance to visit with him and his wonderful wife Susan was a treat and he even somehow convinced me to call him Leo as we were now friends. I have periodically been in e-mail contact with him since and will miss his words as I heard them in my head as I read each message. I am so glad I had the chance to reconnect to Leo Schneider and am sorry I will not have the chance again.
