[SumItUp]

This is an interesting article for those that enjoy history. Did you know that the grandson, Harrison Tyler, of the 10th United States president, John Tyler, Jr., is still living. President Tyler died in 1862. His grandson was born 66 years after his death.

He received a degree from William & Mary and Virginia Tech.

"When I finished at William and Mary, there were no jobs for chemists," Tyler says. After a former professor advised him that "all the action was in chemical engineering," Tyler applied to several schools with strong programs in the field. He decided on Tech because the engineering department was top-rate and the low in-state tuition was attractive--as was the fact that his girlfriend lived in nearby Radford.
