I was shocked and saddened by the unfortunate news of the passing away of my friend and colleague Dr George Rondtree. ( I was on the West Coast in April and fell sick while in Santa Barbara).

Dr Roundtree embodied the spirit of Social Work, our mutual calling. As Associate Dean, he helped me rebuild LSU School of Social Work in mid-eighties. We worked together until retired.
I looked forward to meeting him on Friday-monthly meetings of the Group of Retired Social Workers....

Dr. Roundtree was my professor at LSU. He reminded us to recognize the value of our profession. He was also a treasured and respected member of our RSW group. Rest well, Dr. Roundtree, in the arms of our beloved Savoir.
