Wow. All I can say is that Dr. Munger was a great professor and when he spoke to us on the Hyatt collapse, he had our complete and undivided attention.

Paul was a classmate of mine at Missouri S&T, class of 1958 ( then Missouri School of Mines and Metallurgy) . Great classmate, great engineer, great teacher, great administrator, great person- pretty much sums up Paul and Paul’s career.

Paul Munger was a wonderful civil engineering educator, respected nationally for his work in encouraging higher standards for engineering ethics and education. I first met him at the Chi Epsilon national meeting at the University of Texas-Arlington (UTA) in 1978, when I was a grad student at Cal Berkeley. He was the first academic representative I ever met from Rolla, and he made a swell impression on all of the students who attended the meeting, which was actually hosted by Prof Tom Petry of UTA, who later became chair of the CE department at UMR, many years later. If you heard Prof. Munger’s presentation on the Hyatt Regency Walkway collapse, it was one of those presentations that you will never forget – with plenty of lessons for all of us who are practicing engineers.
