The name Chuck Graves sounds familiar, but I didn't take any classes
from him. I was there back in the day when Parks College of SLU was
still over in Cahokia, so we were a seperate, aviation oriented
splinter group. Ben Able was our main instructor, he "moonlighted" as
KMOX's forecaster.

Now that they've combined the two campuses, I'd imagine the splinter
group was subsumed into the SLU Met Department. But that was after I'd
fled. I'm still allergic to Jesuits. :-)

I missed out on Gerry North at least as far as taking classes. I was
just about finished up when we first came to A&M. We had interviewed
him, and thought it would be a great hire. I think he's been the
department chair for awhile.

Indeed. It would only prove my axiom that "real world data is messy".
