Dr. Reneau

[Houston Techsan]

I was in his inaugural chemical engineering class as a junior in 1967 and taught a chemical engineering lab for him as a graduating senior in 1969 (due to Viet Nam there were not enough graduate students) and have always respected and admired him. I wish him the best in his retirement.

Don't worry though LFR, Reneau will still be around...

Tech "think tank" = DR shadow govt

Want a gold start? :icon_wink:

Hell yes I do

[GermDawg]

I told everyone this was coming last year, and no one believed me

Anyway, I wish him the best...

Well yeah, cause it didn't happen last year, or this year, it's happening next... I mean if I predicted something to happen (that was going to happen eventually anyway) and was 3 years off I wouldn't expect any accolades...:icon_wink:

I take what I can get

To be fair, it was a rumor from a credible source who should know, indicating that DR would retire within a year, two years at the most.

ULM got stuck with a former ULS staff member, against ULM's wishes. "national search" my arse. Hopefully we have more clout.

Permit me to translate. "I need a place to go to get out of the house. Some old friends, who I kept on the payroll, and I will be able to get together over coffee and reminisce. I may even speak occasionally. But praise all that is good, I don't have to consider another budget. It's going to be great! Can I still get the BOP to come to my house for a serenade?"

Yes, but he'll have to move off of Lake Reneau...

[TechAlum05]

Yes, but he'll have to move off of Lake Reneau...

There's probably some property between Temple Baptist and Lake Reneau to build a nice lakefront home where he can spend his retirement years.

[Tech78]

Yes, but he'll have to move off of Lake Reneau...

I believe he has built a house in Squire Creek and it should be completed by now.

With the new ULS president coming in, I have to think that Reneau calculated his move. Governor Jindal seems to be friendly with Reneau, and hopefully the new leader of the ULS will be friendly as well. At the press conference annoncing his successor, they will rave about Dr. Reneau's 46-year commitment to La. Tech....and then Dr. Guice will be installed as President of Louisiana Tech University.

I would be 100% satisfied with this outcome.
