Dennis,
During the summer after my first junior year at Tech, I received the bum’s rush letter from Tech more than suggesting I not return in the fall. They rightly sited my 0.0 grade point average that spring. A confluence of events, not the least of which was the announcement that my girl friend had somehow become pregnant, lead to my dismal performance. My new wife was as mortified as I. The letter arrived on Friday. Having read the letter upon my return from work, I immediately picked up the phone and called Dean Meese. A baby sitter answered and I asked if she would ask him to call me. To my surprise, and unending gratitude, he returned my call when he returned home. I pled my case. Dean Meese seemed to understand the adolescent angst that bedeviled me and bade me return to Tech. I left campus in 1970 with a degree in applied physics, a daughter and wife.

Thanks Dean.
