R the chance that Joe, or information about his disappearance, could have been uncovered. I'm sure that other readers, in addition to myself, are very interested in knowing why this inexcusable delay occurred. Christopher S. Davis, IE 93 Atlanta We too are saddened by the disappearance of Joe Morse. As the article relates, it is an incident that has troubled Georgia Tech administrators and law enforcement officers from the start. As a quarterly publication, we seldom publish articles that would be called "hard news." What made Joe Morse's story compelling was the one-year anniversary since he disappeared and the circumstances surrounding his disappearance. The story was further made poignant by the heartrending details Joe's parents shared. The length of time that Joe had been missing was one of the crucial elements that made the story important to tell. It is our fervent hope that Joe will return and be reunited with his parents.
Hubbell Rare Breed Some people are born to lead. Admiral Lester Hubbell
was that kind of person. After receiving my commission from Officer Candidate School in Newport, R.I., in 1962,1 reported to the USS Yosemite in Newport. Les Hubbell was the captain and commanding officer. The best story I remember about him was when the Yosemite went to San Juan the previous year. Capt. Hubbell stood on the beach and challenged the enlisted crew to throw him into the water. He was a former football player for Georgia Tech and had a black belt in karate. Regardless, I thought that it was a reflection of a man who had the panache to allow his men to treat him as one of their own and yet maintain his authority. His smile made my day. I spent nine years on active duty in the Navy. I'm a Yankee like the admiral. There are those few people we meet who make us feel better about ourselves. Admiral Hubbell was one of that rare breed. Edward C. Auble West Chester, Pa. Lester E. Hubbell, IM 38, was a retired Navy rear admiral. A native of Teaneck, N.J., he was a member of Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity at Tech. He died of cancer on June 16, 1995.
