Wis hobbies include gardening and fishing; and (Dr. Johnson is an active member of the Dobson 'Baptist Church. vDfaen it com«s to money, (Dr. John- son knows his business, said a fellow SCC employee. I recall, years ago when (Dr. Johnson managed the bookstore, that he took $25 out of his own pocket for change, but I'm sure he remembered to pay himself back. Otherwise, the books would not have balanced. Conrad Wolcomb is one of Surry's most dedicated profes- sors, a man who is very serious about his subject, classes, and students. If you have a question about world history or political science, ask Conrad, It s a good bet he will not only be able to answer the question, but will also suggest three or four good books on the subject. As one of his colleagues observes, CDr. Wolcomb is a knowl- edgeable lecturer. ZDhen I first heard him teach, I thought he was reading the material; each sentence was deliberate and well thought out. After coming to know him better over the years, I realized he wasn't reading that lecture material at all. We is just a careful, precise individual who is discriminating in his use of language. If I ask him a ques- tion about golf or Carolina sports, he is equally precise. We also has a good sense of humor, except about ttflC athlet- ics . . . Although he is a good friend, a good neighbor, a good department chairman . ■ . , he is first and foremost a teacher . . . CDr. Woleomb is the Social Sciences Division chairman at SCC. We holds an A.B. degree from tHlC-Chapel Will and V a CDJ . from Georqe tDashinqton University.
