Obituary Laurence Talbott, 78 Laurence Talbott, industrial technology professor emeritus, died Sept. 27 in San Luis Obispo. Talbott taught at Cal Poly from 1966 to 1987 and served as department chair dur­ ing his last two years. His lifelong quest for learning led him to earn several degrees: a bachelor's in engineering from San Diego State in 1951, an MBA from USC in 1965, an Ed.D. from Utah State University in 1972, a master's in civil engineering from Cal Poly in 1979, a bachelor's in history from Cal State Bakersfield in 1990, and a Ph.D. in history from The Union Institute in 1995. After he retired from Cal Poly, he taught history part time at the university and at Arlene Chandler (left) and Everett Chandler present the Chandler Award to staff members Loree Creath, Carolyn Jones, and Mary Lou Sneed.
