Professor Lauth asked me into his office to sternly tell me that my classmates had complained that I was spending much time at the library reading all the long bibliography materials in his seminar syllabus, and it wasn’t fair. Then he broke into a smile and said, “I told them to do likewise!”
The original 40-watt club, where I once learned the guitar parts for the entire second side of the Beatles’ Abbey Road album from some old southern rockers. And then we all went to the midnight jam session at the R.E.M. barn.
To Jekyll Island a couple times, to interview key decision-makers in the decade-long Georgia State Prison-Reidsville reform litigation – with a small dissertation research grant award. How we suffer for our field research!
I really didn’t think public administration could be inspiring – until I came to UGA. Then I was inspired by Susette Talarico, Tom Lauth, Del Dunn, and others to do more than I ever thought was possible.
