College dean earned a lifetime of respect
Placeholder Image
In one of my favorite Merle Haggard songs, “Okie From Muskogee,” Haggard writes about the local college saying “Football’s still the roughest thing on campus and the kids there still respect the college dean.” Herbert Robinson was the first dean of what was then Gainesville Junior College. They didn’t have football, but I am quite confident the kids truly respected the college dean.
