North Carolina. One of five children, Grady graduated high school at 
the age of 16 and joined the U.S. Navy as a medical corpsman in WWII. 
He was selected for Naval ROTC at Alabama Polytechnic Institute (API),

  Grady earned degrees from API in Chemical Engineering and Mathematics 
and his doctorate in Industrial Engineering at Purdue University. Grady 
served at Auburn University as full professor, Dean of the College of 
Engineering and Executive Vice President.
  Grady was also involved in the community and was a member of the 
Rotary Club, Civitan Club and Kiwanis Club. He is a member of Auburn 
United Methodist Church.

birthday.
