“I thoroughly enjoyed reading Dudley Robinson's account of the "early days". He taught a good freshman chem course; I remember his great pitching arm. He could hit a dozing student in the back row with a piece of chalk with never a miss! How would that go over now???” L. Wynston, B.S.'55

"It would be great to hear from any of my old classmates from 1951-1955. I was a research student of Lionel Joseph (a really nice fellow) and Arne Wick at Scripps, where I worked during summers and holidays, before going on to graduate school at UCLA (Ph.D. 1960 in biochemistry). I am now retired after 35 years at Cal State Long Beach, a professor emeritus of biochemistry. I thoroughly enjoyed reading Dudley Robinson's account of the "early days". He taught a good freshman chem course; I remember his great pitching arm. He could hit a dozing student in the back row with a piece of chalk with never a miss! How would that go over now??? - Stephen Drew (B.S. 1970)

"Currently Regional Sales Manager for Advanced Chemistry Development (NMR and Property Prediction Software)...sold out after getting an MBA!
Was at Pfizer, La Jolla for 4 Years in the Analytical Chemistry and Regulatory Affairs groups.
After working with many chemists from all over the world, I must say that my education at SDSU rivaled any program...SDSU is a great program, and I am forever grateful for learning from some true mentors!" - Johan (Hans) Pluyter (M.S. '87)
