Another fine installment! Dr. Carl O. Westbrook, president emeritus of Connors State College and decorated World War II veteran, died March 30, in Tulsa. He was 95 years old. Born on Oct. 25, 1922, Westbrook was raised in Houston and graduated from Aldine High School. Westbrook joined the Navy and was stationed in Pearl Harbor and the Pacific Theater during World War II. While in the Navy, he also claimed the featherweight title in the Golden Gloves. He was honorably discharged in 1946. As the 13th president of Connors State College, Westbrook grew the enrollment of the college from 900 to 2,500 students, launched innovative new programs in nursing, equine technology and child development, opened a branch campus in Muskogee, saw the school win two national championships in men’s and women’s basketball and acquired a 1,300-acre ranch that today stands as a living laboratory for research and learning opportunities for students. At the time of his retirement, Connors State was the largest non-urban junior college in Oklahoma. Pretty interesting character, actually. SC
