Prof. George Cobb killed in motorcycle crash
Sorry this is a bit late, but I did not think of posting it here until today. If you knew George well enough to mourn his passing, there will be a combination wake and memorial service at Finnegan's Wake on Sunday, March 16, at 3:00 PM. I hope that takes the edge off of what will be a sad Monday morning when I walk past his empty office.
Some of the students in the club may have had George for precalc or algebra, and I am pretty sure some of our club members are currently in one of his classes. If you want a different perspective on George than what you saw in class, you should read a column in the Tallahassee Democrat by local runner Gary Droze. George ran the 800 m in college at Auburn and was still an active runner in triathalons in his 60s. He also loved riding the Kawasaki motorcycle he was on when he died.
I will remember a teacher committed to excellence. Students who came out of his classes were generally well prepared to succeed in physics (even if they still did not remember how to solve log problems). I don't think a day went by that he was not thinking about a way to get his students involved in learning the math they would need to reach their career goals.
Obituary from the Tallahassee Democrat:
George Leslie Cobb Jr.
George Leslie Cobb Jr. George Leslie Cobb Jr. of Tallahassee, died Sunday, March 9, 2008, from injuries suffered in a motorcycle accident. A celebration of George's life will be at 3 p.m. EDT Sunday, March 16, at Finnegan's Wake, 1122 Thomasville Road. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Stanislaus College, Attn: Michael Reso, 304 S. Beach Blvd., Bay St. Louis, MS 39520. He was born Sept. 24, 1944. A graduate of Auburn University, he was a math professor at Tallahassee Community College and an avid runner, cyclist and motorcyclist. Survivors include his parents, George and Dorothy Cobb of Southern Pines, N.C.; a sister, Jan Cobb of Fayetteville, N.C.; a son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Susanne Cobb of Charlottesville, Va.; a daughter, Dominique Clothiaux of Moscow, Idaho; and a special friend, Missy Andric of Tallahassee, Fla.

BUDWEISER / JACKSONVILLE TOUR
On Sat morning March 1, at 8:15am the TCC Ford 350 12-person van departed TCC for Budweiser in Jacksonville. Your driver was Doug Jones, and his “cargo” comprised 6 FAMU/FSU students and 2 TCC students.
We arrived at the Bud Brewery at 11:30 and caught the tour immediately – perfect timing. The formal tour ended at 12:25 in the “Hospitality Room” where persons over 21 enjoyed complementary beverages. Your Driver drank Root Beer! At this time we were joined by the plant’s environmental
engineer who spent about ½ hour describing some of the more technical aspects of the plant and answering our questions.
We lunched at a quaint establishment on Jacksonville’s famous Riverside and returned to Tallahassee, arriving at about 6:45pm.
I have only a few photos, as my camera’s battery ran low; however, I expect to receive more pictures from others on the tour. I post mine now and the others as I receive them.
DJ.
