There's a story behind many of the photos we've received to create a Photomosaic cover of the Ramblin' Wreck for the centennial history of the Alumni Association.
"This is a wonderful way to honor your family," said Tench H. Phillips Jr., of Virginia Beach, Va., who has a white and gold bloodline.
In addition to his own photo, Phillips is supplying images of his dad, Tench H. Phillips Sr., who was a 1922 classmate of George C. Griffin; two uncles, "Pup" Phillips, Cls 19, an All-American football player under John Heisman who played on the team that beat Cumberland 222-0, and Johnny Phillips, Cls 32, who played basketball for the Yellow Jackets.
Charles Spencer, Mgt 72, MS Mgt 74, submitted a photo of himself wearing blue jeans and T-shirt standing next to Dean Griffin in a suit.
"Dean Griffin was an old family friend of my grandfather, Louis Cleveland Clark, who was a Tech football player, and I did yard work and maintenance for the Griffins at their house for several years while I was at Tech," Spencer explained.
Heather Shankwiler, MS Mgt 99, submitted a photo of her as an infant in the arms of her grandfather, Sherman Dallas, the first dean of Georgia Tech's College of Management.
Submit your photo to alumnipix@gtalumni.org and submit those of other family members you'd like to honor on the cover of this historic story of Georgia Tech's alumni and the association they founded.
