Robert Goodman: Taught geography with photos
Robert Goodman, a popular 86-year old, Wayne State geography professor, died April 15 of complications from colon cancer. His lesson plans were mixed with enthusiasm for his topic and a dry sense of humor that kept students\' attention. During Mr. Goodman\'s life, he created more than 10,000 photo slides from his trips to Asia, the Middle East and Europe to show his geography students. Some of his photos captured the geography; others told the story of the how the people used the land. Mr. Goodman won numerous accolades including the Wayne State Excellence in Teaching Award in 1979.
