Kimberly E. Alexander

Walt “Alex” Alexander grew up in Nashville, Tennessee. As a young man he sometimes worked for his father who built houses for a living. Alex loved analyzing how things worked and rebuilding those things to function better. He was drafted into the Army just after graduating from high school and served a tour in the Philippines during World War II. He later attended Tennessee Technological University on the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944, commonly known as the G.I. Bill. After graduation he moved to Atlanta, Georgia where he worked for the United States Army Corps of Engineers. He met his wife, married and they raised their two children together. He continued to enjoy analyzing and rebuilding things; he recycled old furniture and appliances to make new and improved items and maintained all of the family vehicles, appliances, and the family home. He lived the rest of his life in Atlanta with his wife and two children. He continued to support the University through annual donations of whatever he could afford at the time. His family now wishes to honor his memory by continuing to support the University and its students.
