John Brodmann

Over the weekend,the Whig had an excellent profile of John Brodmann, retired chemistry professor at Culver-Stockton, who has been there for 50 years now. I met Mr. Brodmann fourteen or fifteen years ago and have had the pleasure of seeing him occasionally since then. He's the kind of man whose picture they should put in the dictionary next to "college professor".....kindly but demanding, always had time for students, worked with them and counseled them day and night. Every college student should have a mentor like that. Who knows, if I had met him thirty years earlier, I might have gone into chemistry instead of the humanities.

Amusing typo on the sports page....the columnist wrote that the QHS football team "didn't have any reason to hand their heads." Question is, who would they hand them to?
