RIP Frank Roper, Jr GIT Registrar Emeritus (Link)

[DeepSnap]

Frank was a good guy... one of the few on The Hill who tried to help the GTAA if he could.

If you're wondering why should anyone care, if you graduated anywhere from about 1968-2000, look at the bottom of your diploma.

I remember him and talked to him a couple of times as an undergrad.

And the Hill wasn't that accommodating to students back in the 60's. Attitudes changed a lot between 1967 when I left for a stint in the military and came back in 1971. The Hill seemed to soften quite a bit. Number of hours to graduate was reduced. I think it was the Vietnam war and so many students were affected by the draft. A former class president was killed toward the end of the war. A really special person according to those who knew him. Those were tough years at Tech. Difficult curriculum and threat of the draft hanging over us.

Didn't go to Tech, but at my school the goal was to keep the S2 status or you were gone to Nam.
