Roger H. Lamprey

Dr. Lamprey taught computer science at Valdosta State University from 1985 to 2000. Prior to 1985, he taught in the Computer Information Systems Department at Georgia State University.

He now lives in the Atlanta area with his first wife Patti, two cats (T.K. and Riley), and his hiking buddy, Dodge [pronounced DOJ], a golden retriever . Though officially retired from teaching, he teaches computer-science classes from time to time for the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at North Georgia College in Dahlonega. He also engages in industrial training, consulting, and writing.

He is an active member (and the treasurer) of the Kiwanis Club of Historic Roswell, plays league tennis on ALTA (Atlanta Lawn Tennis Association) teams, and, less frequently, sings baritone in the Roswell Firehouse Harmony Brigade, an organization that is affiliated with SPEBSQSA (the Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America), the international barbershop harmony society. Under those auspices, he sometimes performs "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" in a quartet that boards buses at Underground Atlanta, bound for the Atlanta Braves games.

He plays the horn in the Alpharetta City Band and the Atlanta Community Symphony Orchestra. He is also a member of the Atlanta Horn Club and of AlphaBrass, a brass quintet.

He ran in the Peachtree Road Race in 2004 and 2005, but, in each case, he was edged out by some Kenyans (not to mention tens of thousands of other folks).

He has two adult daughters, Teri and Sarah, (both) of whom he is extremely proud. Teri married Bret Williams in 2005, and Bret is a wonderful addition to the family. On April 20, 2007, Teri gave birth to Dr. Lamprey's first grandchild, a son named Caulder.
