Mr. Speaker, I rise today to grieve the loss of Dr. Bob Nichols, who passed away on December 20. Dr. Nichols was a renowned professor at Young Harris College with an impressive 35-year teaching career at the school. He taught math and coached tennis at the Westminster Schools in Atlanta, Gainesville State College, and Young Harris College. Dr. Nichols was an All-American tennis player during his time at Georgia Tech and earned a spot in the Georgia Tech Sports Hall of Fame. Dr. Nichols impacted thousands of students during his 42-year teaching career. In September 2011, Young Harris College named their campus tennis complex in honor of Dr. Nichols. Additionally, Dr. Nichols designed a strong advising program and was the chair of the mathematics and science division at Young Harris College. The college's board of trustees awarded him professor emeritus status in 2010 for his decades of dedicated service, and he received several other remarkable awards. Dr. Nichols will always be remembered as an outstanding coach, an outstanding mentor, and a friend to all. ____________________
