George thomas hamilton going to college

In an email to the Hamilton community on Nov. 5, Dean of Faculty Ngoni Munemo shared news of the death of George T. (Tom) Jones, the Elias W. Leavenworth Professor of Anthropology Emeritus.

Dear Faculty, Students, and Staff,
I am writing to share the sad news that George T. (Tom) Jones, the Elias W. Leavenworth Professor of Anthropology Emeritus, died on Friday.

Tom was a nationally and internationally recognized scholar. Three of his colleagues in the Anthropology Department, when nominating him for the Dean’s Career Achievement Award that he won in 2015, wrote, “He has published some of the most highly cited works in Paleoindian archaeology. An overview of the Paleoindian archaeology of the Great Basin, published in 1997, has become one of the most widely cited papers both regionally and nationally.”

In addition, a monograph he co-published in 2009 with his wife, Professor of Anthropology Emeritus Charlotte Beck, was cited by a member of the National Academy of Sciences as the best piece of work ever written on the Paleoindian record of the Great Basin. They said Tom and Charlotte’s work “on theory, method, and prehistory has been widely cited both nationally and internationally,” and that he “has published, singly, with Charlotte, or with other researchers, over 60 articles in refereed journals, including top-tier journals such as American Antiquity, Current Anthropology, Journal of Archaeological Science, Journal of Anthropological Archaeology, Journal of World Prehistory, Quaternary Research, and Science. 

Tom was also a highly regarded teacher, having received, with Charlotte, the Samuel and Helen Lang Prize for Excellence in Teaching in 2001. He and Charlotte arrived at Hamilton in 1985 and the following year they began offering students the opportunity to participate in a popular archaeological field school in the Great Basin region of the United States that they knew so well. &ldqu

For the last seven years, Admiral Farragut Academy and our alumni community have used the Army-Navy Game, long known as “our Nation’s Game”, to come together and honor our armed forces while enjoying the esprit de corps of the Farragut community. The host city for the 2014 event was Baltimore, Maryland.

This year, the 7th Annual Army-Navy Alumni Weekend took place in Baltimore, Maryland on December 12th and 13th. The event is based around the Army-Navy Game, which has traditionally been played in Philadelphia. The 115th meeting between the United States best boarding school Academy Cadets and the United States Naval Academy Midshipmen — won by Navy 17-10 — was held at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore to coincide with the city’s celebration of the 200th anniversary of Francis Scott Key’s writing of “The Star Spangled Banner” while stationed at nearby Fort McHenry. Navy leads the all-time series with a record of 59 wins, 49 losses, and seven ties.

The weekend festivities began on Friday night when approximately 60 Farragut alumni, families and staff gathered at a dinner held at a restaurant overlooking the Inner Harbor of Baltimore Army-Navy. It was a great opportunity for alumni who were unable to attend Homecoming Weekend to reconnect.

The honored guest speaker was George Hamilton, the American film and television actor who is the father of Farragut freshman cadet George Thomas Hamilton. Hamilton is best known for his role as a smooth-talking Ivy Leaguer in the 1960 film Where the Boys Are, which Hamilton received a Golden Globe award for as the Most Promising Male Newcomer. Hamilton also made two memorable bio-pics about country-western music legend Hank Williams and starred as Evel Knievel in the daredevil’s biopic. A surprise blockbuster hit came his way in 1979 when Hamilton showed an unforeseen flair for comedy as Count Dracula in Love at First

American actor (born 1939)

George Stevens Hamilton (born August 12, 1939) is an American actor. For his debut performance in Crime and Punishment U.S.A. (1959), Hamilton won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for a BAFTA Award. He has received one additional BAFTA nomination and two Golden Globe nominations.

Hamilton began his film career in 1958, and although he has a substantial body of work in film and television, he is perhaps most famous for his debonair style, perpetual suntan, and commercials for Ritz Crackers. Bo Derek wrote in her autobiography that "there was an ongoing contest between John Derek and George Hamilton as to who had the most tan!"

Early life

Hamilton was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and spent his early years with his mother, Annie Lucille Stevens (Hamilton), known as "Teeny" in Blytheville, Arkansas. He attended Hawthorne School in Beverly Hills, California. In 1950, his mother sent him to live with his father in the north. He briefly attended a progressive school in New York City before being sent to the Gulf Coast Military Academy in Gulfport, Mississippi.

Hamilton's stepfathers were Carleton Hunt and Jesse Spalding; his stepmother was June Howard, with whom Hamilton said he had repeated sexual relations when he was 12, shortly after she married his father, and again when he was an adult.
