Bob Engelman GRJC Physical Sciences Division 1962-1988

Bob first came to GRJC as a student in 1950. Total enrollment was 774, down 60% from the 1946-47 GI-bill boom. He took Math 13 and 14 (College Algebra, Analytic Geometry and intro to Differential Calculus) from Theodora (Ted) Quick, and Math 33 and 34 (Calc 1 and Calc 2) from Alma Seegmiller. He found both instructors to be strict, but great. He took Calc 3 after GRJC; until the early 60s, it was a junior-level course at most...

Peace to Bob and his family. Bob's work at GRJC was greatly appreciated by students and fellow faculty members. Jim Chesla

My sympathy goes out to all family and friends. Mr. Engelman coached me at GRJC in the early 70's. I have a lot of great memories of him and our teams. He wasn't a ra ra type guy but,always brought out the best in everyone. Rest easy

My sincerest sympathies to Brett, Mark and family. Thinking of you in this time of sadness.
