I suspect that old George figured he got the last laugh on Professor Wall!

I don't think Dr. Wall was implying he was trying to keep George from graduating, he evidently just didn't do the work and Dr. Wall was not one to coddle jocks. I had him for two graduate level courses as a Tulane undergrad, then he finished his career at the University of Georgia.

He was easily one of the most colorful characters I had as a professor, he looked and sounded like he might have been a character from a comic novel set in the south.

My first thought was that in George's day, the football players were required to take real college courses!

Happy Birthday, Rod!!!

Thank you! Of course, I went out to the Thai place near you because their anniversary
and my b-day coincide (but they're closed on Wednesday) and it's become a "tradition."
Tho they always give me a free dessert of green tea ice cream, this one was way too big
and they added in a big cheesecake too that I didn't really need. 😀 Ice cream was shared
and the cheesecake came home.
