Bom in Rockwell, Joe Linker Sr. earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from UNC and returned to the classroom to teach students after serving in both world wars. “The students he taught said he gave them one of their most out standing experiences at college,” Burton Linker Jr. said. Joe Linker Sr. wrote textbooks and was widely considered to be an authority on applied mathematics and the mathematics of finance, in addition to being involved in other areas of campus life. While a student at UNC, he worked as a printer for The Daily Tar Heel, manually feeding sheets of paper into the machines. He passed away in the late 19705. Burton Linker Jr. said he and his brothers do not have any say in who the University selects to receive the award, and attaching a set of criteria would not properly honor their father. “We made the position possible, and they are using it.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.
