1976

James Lester Good MBA ’76 helped design the communications antenna for the lunar landing module of the Apollo program. He pursued his studies at night and eventually became a professor and later dean at Menlo College. His children remember him explaining the most difficult concepts in terms so simple that he made his audience feel like geniuses. Nearly every weekday morning the familiar opening of Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water” would play and Jim could be found dancing around the living room in his PJs. Jim died March 9, 2022.
