I worked with Chip starting in 1970 at GSU. He was a really nice guy I didn't have a car he offered and picked me up every morning and dropped me off every night for about 6 weeks. He would not take money for gas,I had to leave it on the seat. He was a hard working man,and just good people. I just learned today he had past.
