The Fall ALUMNI MAGAZINE was
an outstanding issue. The interview with Richard DeMillo [dean of the College of Computing] especially is an indicator of Tech's great future. Those of us who "got out" when computing was in diapers but have lived through much of its adolescence have come to understand that computing is valuable because of the application. Putting that back into the classroom is essential. Understanding the bigger picture is a key ingredient of good engineering. Doug McCammish, IE 67 Columbia, Ky.
Taste of Paradise For someone like me, going on 42 years after having left the campus and living close to 10,000 kilometers away, to find this electronic publication of the GEORGIA TECH ALUMNI MAGAZINE
is like drinking a very fine, fine scotch while glancing at paradise. Congratulations. Enrique A. Cubillos, IE 65, TE 66 Bogota, Colombia
What Do You Expect? I was very impressed with the quality and ease of use of the
If that's the way you're going, you'll lose a very satisfied alumnus. You'll take the pleasure right out of the experience. Say it isn't so! Burton M. Courtney, CE61.MSCE65 online magazine. As a matter of fact, when I showed it to my wife, Simone, who graduated from Emory in 1966, her comment was: "What do you expect? It's from Tech." I am the owner of a digital and offset print business. In my business, online ordering and transfer of files are no longer the wave of the future but the reality of today. We spend most of our time dealing with online issues. I congratulate you. Whoever decided to create the online magazine deserves a raise and a gold T Bernie Wilker, ME 65 River Vale, N.J.
Hard Copy I hope that the online ALUMNI MAGAZINE and Tech Topics are only an additional alternative way to enjoy these publications and not an effort to replace the hard copy editions. I enjoy the two magazines too much to flip
Thomasville, Ga. Sit back and relax. It isn't so. The GEORGIA TECH ALUMNI
MAGAZINE and Tech Topics will continue to be printed on paper. The digital editions are just an added benefit of giving to Roll Call. For more on the digital magazine, see page 26.
Wonderful Recognition The Photomosaic cover for the centennial history of the Alumni Association is a wonderful way to honor your family. My dad, Tench H. Phillips Sr, was a 1922 classmate of George C. Griffin. An uncle, "Pup" Phillips, CIs 19, was an All-American football player under John Heisman and played on the team that beat Cumberland 222-0; another, Johnny Phillips, CIs 32, played basketball for the Jackets. I want to honor them by putting their pictures on the cover.
The Photomosaic will create an image of the Ramblin' Wreck. (For more information on the project, see page 25.) Submit your photo at alumnipix@ gtalumni.org. You can place an advance order for the coffee table book for $29.95 and save $10 off the cover price: www.gt alumni, org/centennialbook.
Unbelievable Photo The photo on page 72 of the Winter 2007 ALUMNI MAGAZINE
[see below] blew me away. I was at the Homecoming game and I was in an inside stairwell when the jets went over the stadium. I never saw them but it sounded like they were in the stairwell with me. It was so cool to see the pilots later at the end of the game. What a photo of the campus! Unbelievable. I can't believe how sharp everything is at the speeds they must have been moving. Frank E. Snead, CE 70 Colts Neck, N.J.
