GI glasses were a very important part of high school.

Bob has lived on Emory Road in Atlanta since 1969.
He worked for DeKalb Medical Center
from 1984-1988, and returned from 1994 to 2003. In the interim, he
worked for the Georgia Medical Care
Foundation. He finally completed a master's degree in
computer science at Southern Tech in 1995. He's still single and still a nerd, although he changed from being a camera nerd to a computer nerd in the late 60's. That's how he ended up teaching part-time in the School of Computing and Software
Engineering at Southern Tech... now Southern Polytechnic State University.
(!)
On his 56th birthday, Bob quit his job and signed on to the Ph.D.
program at Nova Southeastern
University in Fort Lauderdamndale. He's finished the third
year of the Ph.D. program and started on the dissertation. We shall see how long it takes
to get another graduation picture on this page.
On Friday afternoons, you can find him at Everybody's in Emory Village
(Atlanta) drinking beer and eating pizza with a group that's been
meeting there for 35 years. He says, "Please come by and join us.
Just ask the hostess for the 'computer group.'"
Bob writes, "I just have to say that my four years at Baker
were the happiest of my life. The years were long, the friends many.
Most of my growing up I did at Baker. The rest I'll do later. Maybe."

Here are Chaz and Bob,
dressed up and ready to
run for the roses.
That's Giacomo, or
Bellamy Road, or
Secretariat, or
maybe Sea Biscuit in the
background. (Truth to
tell, this was at a
Derby-themed fundraiser
for the hospital where
Bob used to work.)

Here's why I'm in a
Ph.D. program. That's
the President of
Southern Polytechnic
State on the left. In
the middle is the 2002
President's
Distinguished Scholar,
with a 3.98 GPA. She's
holding a really pretty
glass replica of a
really ugly bell tower.
The old goat on the
right is her senior
project advisor. The
trouble is, adjunct
faculty aren't supposed
to be advisors.
Busted
again! There's only
one
thing to do: get the
Ph.D. and become a real
faculty member.

What's it like to be a
first-semester Ph.D.
student? Here's a
clue... Brown's sitting
in his office at
Southern Polytechnic, up
to his nose in books.
Outside is a beautiful
spring day in
Georgia. The sun is
shining... the birds are
singing... Brown's
sitting in his office.
(The Monitor
Bear is laughing
silently to himself.
He'd better not
make any noise!

Here are Bob and Sara at
the Junior-Senior Prom.
The theme of the Prom was
The Old South.
Sara certainly looks the
part. Bob's dressed up
like a penguin.

Remember the laser
project? Here are Bob and
Deborah Alderman (BHS
'66) with
Andy Speed of the

Georgia Engineering
Society. The trophy
was for best engineering
project in the Third
District Science Fair.

"My name is Brown.
Bob Brown." Bob
