Two perspectives on Rich Raspet

In this talk, I will present two perspectives of Rich Raspet; one from the point of view as a graduate student and the other from the point of view as a faculty colleague. As a PhD student in the University of Mississippi Physics program, he was my instructor in two courses and gave me advice whenever I requested it. Later, as a faculty member in the same department, I became Rich’s colleague where I continued to learn much from him. I will reflect on what it was like to know Rich in both modes and what I learned from him as a student and as a faculty colleague.
