Biography

John D. Hopper was born on January 9, 1923, and attended Camp Hill High School. In 1941, Hopper enrolled at Dickinson College before joining the United States Army Air Corps as a volunteer and becoming a fighter pilot during World War II. In his freshman year at Dickinson, Hopper met and married Ann Bowman, with whom he later had four children. He returned to Dickinson after the war in 1945 and graduated in 1948. Turning down an offer to play professional basketball with the St. Louis Bombers, Hopper received his law degree in 1951 from the Dickinson School of Law.[2]

Hopper worked in the insurance industry until his election in 1976 to the Pennsylvania State Senate to represent the 31st district. He served until retiring in 1992 and was a member of the Judiciary, Community and Economic Development, Labor and Industry, Military and Veterans Affairs, and the Public Health and Welfare committees. He died, aged 73, on June 12, 1996.[2]

Hopper held a degree from the American College of Life Underwriters and was inducted into the Dickinson College Sports Hall of Fame in 1972 in recognition of his varsity basketball career there.[2]

gollark: As you can see, centre-justification follows from the combination of left- and right-justification.
gollark: Left-justification:> Left-wing politics supports social equality and egalitarianism, often in critique of social hierarchy.[1][2][3][4] Left-wing politics typically involves a concern for those in society whom its adherents perceive as disadvantaged relative to others as well as a belief that there are unjustified inequalities that need to be reduced or abolished.[1] According to emeritus professor of economics Barry Clark, left-wing supporters "claim that human development flourishes when individuals engage in cooperative, mutually respectful relations that can thrive only when excessive differences in status, power, and wealth are eliminated."[5] No language (except esoteric apioforms) *truly* lacks generics. Typically, they have generics, but limited to a few "blessed" built-in data types; in C, arrays and pointers; in Go, maps, slices and channels. This of course creates vast inequality between the built-in types and the compiler writers and the average programmers with their user-defined data types, which cannot be generic. Typically, users of the language are forced to either manually monomorphise, or use type-unsafe approaches such as `void*`. Both merely perpetuate an unjust system which must be abolished.
gollark: Anyway, center-justify... centrism is about being precisely in the middle of the left and right options. I will imminently left-justify it, so centre-justification WILL follow.
gollark: Social hierarchies are literal hierarchies.
gollark: Hmm. Apparently,> Right-wing politics embraces the view that certain social orders and hierarchies are inevitable, natural, normal, or desirable,[1][2][3] typically supporting this position on the basis of natural law, economics, or tradition.[4]:693, 721[5][6][7][8][9] Hierarchy and inequality may be seen as natural results of traditional social differences[10][11] or competition in market economies.[12][13][14] The term right-wing can generally refer to "the conservative or reactionary section of a political party or system".[15] Obviously, generics should exist in all programming languages ever, since they have existed for quite a while and been implemented rather frequently, and allow you to construct hierarchical data structures like trees which are able to contain any type.
