I had Professor Longest for Freshman English at VCU back in the 70s. I learned a great deal from his class, mainly from his shocking statements which encouraged class discussion. He was unforgettable! My condolences to his family.

I fondly remember George as a fnext door neighbor. He was always kind and friendly. He was a favorite professor at VCU. He had a Rambler station wagon. He took the r´s off the grille and switched the a and m. The name on the grille spelled MABLE.
