I took one undergraduate class with him. I remember liking him as a teacher from day one. One day he offered to bring in cookies made with worms (he never did, but the idea of "new" ingredients made me think!). I was also thrilled with the idea that we could make up our own final exam questions and present them as if we were graduate students. Apparently the question I came up with was at that level, and Aubrey gently suggested I come up with a different question. Class was wonderful and a joy to attend because of the love he had for the subject. Thanks for this photo of him. The smile says it all. I, too, just learned of Aubrey’s death, and am saddened by it.
