Who remembers Finals Week of Fall 1990. The Military called up all manner of reserve units(in the build up to Desert Shield/Desert Storm), affecting hundreds of thousands across the country, including LSU. Back then, the reserves was “a really cool way to serve your country! One weekend a month, and two weeks a year! And we’ll pay for college!” Well, needless to say, a lot these reservists tried to beg off call-up because of finals. Uncle Sam was having none of it. Reservists had to show up when called. Most professors just gave the kids the grade they already had. Some a-holes gave “I” grades.
Good times.
Good times.

Tom was definitely my favorite. Had him in studio twice and did my best work under him. He was young then .... only a few years older than us and we would actually hang out together. mr White was a great man... but died from cancer. I liked Desmond very much as well... he was tough but got the most out of his students.
