Mr. Bogan was a chemistry professor at the University of Tennessee Medical School, and he served as chair of the Department of Chemistry at both Arkansas State University and Little Rock University. Mrs. Bogan taught at Memphis State University and various secondary schools. She was a non traditional student who graduated at the age of 40 at the top of her class in two majors. She went on to obtain both a masters degree in education and an education specialist degree.
