WDOG SPECIAL DEDICATION Colonel David L. Black Retires Colonel David L. Black has retired from Georgia Military College after thirty-four years of dedicated service. Colonel Black ' s noteworthy career at CMC began in September of 1948, shortly after his graduation from Mercer University in Macon with a Master ' s Degree in Education. He also obtained an A.B. degree in mathematics from Mercer University in 1947 and is a 1942 alumnus of CMC High School. He served a three-year tour of duty with the United States Navy during World War II. Although he began teaching in the classroom. Col. Black ' s career has been as varied as his interests. His dedicated service also includes positions as dean registrar, presi- dent, headmaster, and alumni director. Feeling the need to return to teaching, he went back to the classroom in 1971. He is at this time retiring with a full professorship in mathematics. Col. Black recalls his earlier days at CMC with humor. Serving as dean registrar, he naturally counseled the cadets on course requirements. Often times cadets came to such sessions with one thought on their minds — how to get out of freshman English. It took only a short while for the cadet to agree to Col. Black ' s suggestion that he take the course. Whether he be president, headmaster, alumni director or teacher, David Black has always held the interest of the individual with high regard. This reasoning brought him much respect. Col. Black was honored at the annual President ' s Parade in October, 1982. Major General Salet presented him with the Distinguished Service Award and the traditional military sabre. Colonel Black will be missed at GMC. His plans include gentleman farming and more involvement in the family-owned business The Country Storehouse, where the Blacks ' handmade crafts and goods are marketed
