Robert W. Strain passed away on October 18, 2018 in Athens, Texas. He was born November 15, 1924 in Dallas, Texas. He was reared in Athens, Texas, graduating from high school there in 1942 with honors (but just barely). Before and after World War II, he pursued jobs through eleven years of college as a dormitory waiter, term paper typist, clerk in the dean’s office, grader of business law exams, film projectionist, newspaper deliverer, teacher, and entrepreneur (co-owner of photography business for sororities and fraternities, and publisher of PH.D. economic theory notes). He received three degrees (BBA, MBA, DBA) from as many universities, two luckily with honors (Texas Tech Univ., Louisiana State Univ., Indiana Univ.). His doctoral dissertation was entitled, Life with The Lincoln (1905-1955), a History of the Lincoln National Life Insurance Company, which the company commissioned for its golden anniversary. He holds both professional insurance designations: CLU and CPCU.
