George Dawson Inducted into Hall of Fame


Our friends George and Joel Dawson are in Louisville, Kentucky. George was inducted into his high school hall of fame Saturday. George went to high school at Manual High School near Churchill Downs. George spent his youth sneaking into the race track and playing among the stables.

George was a science education full professor at Florida State University for 30 years. His expertise is writing grants to create interactive science lessons using computers. George has been award over $10,000,000 in grants by the National Science Foundation for his projects.

George is the professor that hired me in 1988 to work on a project using interactive video disks to teach middle school earth and space science. We have been good friends ever since. George and Joel have been our Godparents ever since we moved here. We selected this house because it was three doors away from them.

They will be driving their Volkswagen Microbus home tomorrow.
