Professor Elam

  Paul Newman passed from our midst this weekend, a true class act. Newman as married to Joan Woodward, they had several children, he starred in major league movies, and gave over $150 M away through his charities, a life well lived indeed.

Students are aware I am a film buff, check out Cat on  a Hot Tin Roof, Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy, The Sting, The Hustler (the original with Jackie Gleason and George Scott in black and white no less, not the Tom Cruise sequel), or Hud.   Newman was also a life long car enthusiast and successful racer.
