Abstract: I, an Iowa farm boy, enrolled as a freshman at CU in 1960. My first encounter with formal economics was during my first semester, when I took a course on European economic history taught by Ragaei El Mallakh. All I can remember from that course is that El Mallakh trumpeted Schumpeter in every class. The last time I saw Ragaei was during a trip that Mrs. Hanke (Liliane) and I took to Boulder shortly before Ragaei met the Grim Reaper in 1987. It was my last visit to Boulder – one that included a dinner at the Red Lion Inn, which Fred and Nancy Glahe and Ragaei and Dorothea El Mallakh hosted. In 1964, I received a B.S. in Business Administration with an emphasis in marketing. The professors of marketing were distinguished. Most had written the best-selling texts in their specialties. In those days, marketing at CU was very tilted towards what today would be called behavioral economics. I also took all the real estate courses offered. They were taught by Maurice Unger, a best-selling textbook author and subsequent close friend. Maurice was my main undergraduate mentor and the one who advocated graduate studies in economics.
