Both great resources while a teacher, during my professional career, and friends. -- Remi Francoeur '04 Douglas Challenger. -- Lisa Gamberdella ‘96 Bill Ball. Rest his soul. -- Lara Ciancio Burke ‘91 Robert Derecks! Definitely Robert Derecks. -- Jeannette Passanisi ‘90 G Burns. Always full of wisdom but expected you to figure it out on your own. -- Sarah Leonard ‘05 Donna Decker. -- Kristen Costa ‘05 Forbes Farmer!!!! -- Mandi Brava ‘12 Ooo. That is a tough one. They would be good for different things. I'll go with Frank Cohen so we can rock out to good music/host awesome alums. My other partner in crime besides Frank Cohen would have to be Kelli Malone. We will travel the world together, one pub at a time. -- Kim Ruth ‘09 Dr. Nathan Cervo...(RIP) and Professor White. Yes, Prof Darling had a world universe in his wagon. -- Nicholas Gregory Bob Goodby without a doubt! I think all the time how much I would love to still be taking classes with him. FPU should offer podcasts or videos of lectures from their notable professors for us alumni. I would gladly pay for that actually. (Not to mention I bet that would help attract prospective students, if they could get a taste for some of the amazing professors FPU has to offer.) -- Céline Rainville ‘09 Professor Kristen Nevious... Most memorable professor I had at Franklin Pierce College by far. -- Keith Richmond ‘06 Sandra Perry. -- Michelle Labovitz ‘98 Robert (Bob) Lawson. -- Philip Howard ‘04 I also would say Donna Decker, also Dr. Flynn- I tried to take as many of my Psychology classes as I could with him. -- Marylyn Gainan ‘04 Let us not forget Richie Darling. We would always have a cardboard box for our things, chocolate happily smudged on our faces, and wonderful conversations with our friend, Nathan Cervo. Good times. I used to love seeing Nathan and Richie, thick as thieves, chatting in the hallway. The memory still makes me smile! -- Michele Sobocienski ‘94 Michael Abruzzese! – Valerie Kennedy Hesketh ‘91 Trevor J. Tebbs is already stuck with me on my life's journey! -- Megan Wakely ‘07 Wendy Dwyer. -- Mindy Ruddock ‘01 Donald Born. -- Laura Cavallo ‘73 Uncle Bob. "Coburn" -- Stephen Moriarty ‘82 Wendy B Dwyer. -- Ricki Thompson ‘10 Donna Decker will always have a huge impact on my life. -- Nikki Cervantes Buchholz ‘09 Dr. Charlie Snow is still a part of my life's journey. Prof. Fred Robbins also. -- Sharon Joy Konspore ‘81 Harry Davis would be fun to spend time with. -- Chelsie Kohout ‘11 Professor Katherine Cronin. She always kept us motivated and thinking. -- Zak Adams ‘07 Forbesie Farmer and Dougie C (Challenger). -- Amanda Lundy ‘07 Dr. Dangelantonio. -- Tom Remp ‘11 John Villemaire, Dr. Dangelantonio, Joan Dion, Trevor Tebbs. -- Nate Stewart ‘08 Nate Stewart, I agree with all of your choices and I'm going to add Rob Koch! -- Carla Bianca Nancy Stone. -- Tracy Yates ‘89 Miss Van! -- Robin F. Shaffer Sebastian ‘68 Joan Epro. -- Anthony Salgado ‘01 Séamus Pender! Hands down. -- Meghan Kathleen Jordana Daniels Korsen. -- Ashley Sierra Mr. Dion. -- Robert J. Petrosini ‘71 Robin Marra - we could hang at the town library, talk local and national politics and he's most likely to inspire me to exercise. Plus I like his whole family. -- Chris Holman ‘99 Gretchen Ziegler. -- Julie Burgess Labonte ‘97 Taylor Morris. -- Larry Corbo ‘88 Rob Diercks. -- Andrew Dexter ‘02 The late Wendell Roye. -- Richard Hammersley ‘87 Dr. Nathan Cervo. -- Kelly Buchta ‘99 Paul Scharfenberger. -- Colleen Chase ‘96 Keith Detjen! -- Dan Shelley ‘09 There was a psychology professor that I really liked. I cannot remember his name right now. -- Michelle Labovitz ‘98 Dr. Ron Baptiste! -- Dee Dee Catalano Olsen Jeff Allen by far! -- Brittany Lew
