Beau Parent passed away

Probably my favorite professor of all time. Such a great guy and the only person who ever made accounting if not fun, at least interesting. There are so many stories one could tell, but my favorite phrase of his (since I still use the idea) is debits on the left by the window, credits on the right by the door.

RIP.

I doubt that any class did not see him grab the wrong Mr. Pibb can- namely the one he was using as an ashtray- at least once each semester. He also taught me the term "screw-pin anchor shackle," which will always stay with me, even though I probably will never need one.

RIP
