1949 Edward Seils sends a letter from his home in Boone, North Carolina. He writes: 鈥淟ike many World War II veterans who attended the U of R on the GI Bill, I studied hard, often with other classmates, and successfully completed four years of engineering school classes leading to a BSME [bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering]. My classmates, like myself, were World War II combat veterans, including the Rex brothers [the late Edward and John Rex]. A few were ex-POWs, such as [the late] Warren Williams and [the late] John Rowe. I am certain professors and instructors were not sure how to handle such atypical students. I credit my U of R education with early acceptance at the Rochester Products Division of General Motors. There I was able to launch a long and very successful career in the automotive industry.
