Glenn Wells (Faculty 1966-71) (1960)
When he found out that I had dropped out of college at the end of 1961, Dr. Kirby asked me to come see him. He gave me a pep talk and had Mrs. Atkinson arrange for me to get a Vocational Rehabilitation scholarship at Columbus Junior College. Eventually that led to my teaching at Baker High for five years and CSU (part-time) for fourteen years. I can truly say that Dr. Kirby had a huge influence on my life, and I know I was only one of many.Danny Williams (1975)
