I regret to learn of the passing of Mr. Wilbur C. Rumph, Sr. He was the son of my beloved teacher at Perry Jr. High, Mrs. Etta Steed Rumph. I am glad I got to meet Wilbur at meetings of the Middle GA Camellia Society in recent years.

As a kid, I enjoyed watching Wilbur shoot birds in trees with only a slingshot. His accuracy was evidenced by the abundance of cats following him when he packed his slingshot. As a high school student, I worked under Wilbur at Blue Bird as a flunky engineer and most appreciated him as both a fantastic person, supervisor, and mentor. An avid fan of college football, when Ga Tech wasn't playing in Atlanta, Wilbur headed to Athens to watch his second favorite team, Georgia. Although I've been away from Marshallville for 60 years, fond memories of Wilbur Rumph remain.
