Graduate Memories Tribute
Frank's Experience During Undergraduate Studies
Frank enjoyed undergraduate studies and the intellectual challenges it brought. Even so, most of this time was spent towards Wide World of Wood.
However, Amodeo admits regretting not spending more time involved in Undergraduate activities. Although it was nice to make money, not for the sake of money, but because it made doing things in life, including helping others, a lot easier. It was the tangible success that was nice; you knew you got it right, because everybody was happy with the outcome.
Amodeo loved attending college to learn. He also learned to not care so much about grades, but more about what was being learned from the courses, professors, and fellow students. Simply thinking of new ideas and brainstorming was a thrill for Amodeo.
Special Graduate School Events
Henry Manne of Emory Law, not only one of Amodeo's favorite professors during his graduate studies, but a figure who revolutionized the Field of Law and Economics Associations and Centers for Emory, University of Miami, and beyond.
During Amodeo's years of study, it turned out Mr. Manne only teaches one class a year. When Amodeo heard about this, he signed right up, as well as some 40 other students. There was such a high demand for this course, that it was a standing room during the first day. At 8:00 A.M. sharp, Mr. Manne walked in and immediately begins speaking, "In 1860...". He hadn't given any students the chance to say anything, nor did he ask for names or explain testing. About five minutes into the lecture, Amodeo speaks up. "Hey, that doesn't make any sense!" Mr. Manne looked at Amodeo saying, "Who asked you to say something or make comments?", and went right on with his speech. An hour later, he said the class would have a short two-hour session the next day, and left the room.
At 8:00 A.M. the next morning, which was the last day before drop/add, there were 16 students left. The following Monday, Dr. Manne is sitting cross-legged at 7:50 A.M., as Amodeo walks in. Dr. Manne looks right towards Amodeo and says, "I knew you would be back..."
