"When your luck is all out and you're down in the mouth;
when you're stuck in the North when you want to be South;
and the world looks a blank, and there's no one to love and
it seems even God's not in Heaven above - I've a cure for
that grouch and it works like a shot. I just think of the
things I am glad I AM NOT. I just think of the hundreds of
worse things I might be, then down on my knees I thank God
I am ME. Oh, yes, my blues disappear when I think what
I've GOT and quite soon I've forgotten the things I have
not."

-Bruce Reynolds


My first recollection of Bruce is when he was a teenage
boy. He was strong and proud of it. He could take me up
on one hand and lift me high over his head. What fun! He
went to Brookneal school for awhile, staying in the home of
Uncle Will Brumfield who encouraged him to continue his
education. Later he attended Fork Union Military Academy,
a boys' Baptist school. From there he went to the
University of Virginia, University of Iowa, and the Johns
Hopkins University, earning his Doctor of Science degree.
He was professor of Biology at the University of Virginia,
and was the heard of that department when he died. He was
the founder of the summer Graduate Department of Biology at
Mountain Lake, Va. at Mountain Lake. During World War I he
was First Lieutenant in the Air Service, Aircraft
Production. Some of his professional and social
organizations were A.A.A.S. (Council 1953-56); A.ES., S.P;
A.S.B. (President 1953-54)
Bruce and his wife, Kitty, lived in Arkansas a short while,
then in Charlottesville. When I finished school at
Bluefield College and wanted to go to the Univrsity of
Virginia in the fall of 1928, Burce and Kitty took me into
their home for one session. The next session they had
moved out of Charlottesville, and I boarded in town. I
have fond memories of their kindnesses to me while I was a
student.
