I had a boss at one point who graduated from there with engineering-A&P, I think he chose Letourneau because they support religious (Christian) life. He seemed positive about the experience. The famous earthmovers were built at a now-gone factory in Toccoa Georgia, a place I used to live years ago. The machines were a huge asset for Army engineers during WWII. The plant was in ruins when I came along, and they destroyed in about 2007, I think I still have a few pictures. R. G. LeTourneau also built a large church on a lake he made with the earthmovers. He also flew an vintage Douglas twin as the pilot, and built the only airfield there, another item that still functions today (KTOC).
