I worked with Thurman at the Federal Reserve Bank in the early 1990's. He was wonderful to me and we talked a lot about life. My favorite memory is when he brought all the Cumberland University articles he had accumulated regarding the Ga Tech vs Cumberland record setting football game. I graduated from Ga Tech and it was something we could share. I was thinking of Thurman because it was the 100th anniversary of that game last week. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. He truly was a great man to me.
