Albert G. Thompson

Albert Gray Thompson (Dec 5, 1928 – May 29, 2016) was an American educator and philanthropist. He spent the bulk of his academic career at Marquette University, although he also spent several years teaching and researching in Central America.^[1]^[2] After his retirement in 1988, he and his wife established a small coffee plantation outside Antigua Guatemala. They used the plantation as an educational tool, a fund-raising project (to provide scholarships and employment for local youth), and a tourist destination.
