Memorial for John Hulon Bryant View / Sign Guestbook [with portrait]

John Hulon Bryant, 68, passed away Tuesday, February 9, 2010, at St. John
Medical Center in Tulsa, following a severe head injury sustained as the
result
of a fall from a ladder. A memorial service will be held at 3:00 p.m. on
Friday,
February 12, 2010 at First United Methodist Church in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Strode Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.

John was born on April 30, 1941, in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma to Glenn H. and
Bernice Cochran Bryant. John grew up in Stillwater, graduating from Stillwater

High School in 1959. He graduated from Oklahoma State University in 1964 with
a
Bachelor’s degree in Architecture, and earned a Master’s degree from The
University of Illinois in 1968.

John married Linda Sue Carhart, of Scottsdale, Arizona, on January 30, 1964.
John and Linda raised one daughter, Mary Ellen.

Following graduation, John was employed as a professional architect at The
Benham Group in Oklahoma City. But his true passion was teaching. In 1970, he
was hired as a Regents Professor of Architecture at Auburn University, where
he
taught until 1976.

Following that, John was awarded the distinct honor of a Senior Fulbright
Research Scholarship. Herewith, John, Linda, and Mary Ellen spent a year in
Japan, where John researched and photographed ancient Japanese architecture.
This research became the foundation for his later specialization in teaching
Non-Western Architecture classes at Oklahoma State University.

Following his year in Japan, John was hired by Oklahoma State University as
Head
of the School of Architecture, a job he held from 1977 until 1985.

During his tenure as Head, John made two trips to China as a member of a
delegation of U.S. Architectural Educators. They were asked to facilitate the
re-establishment of schools of architecture when that country re-opened
relations with the West.

Following his time as Head, John served as a professor, teaching Design Studio

and Non-Western and Japanese Architecture, the latter of which was frequently
voted as “Favorite Class� by the students he loved so much. He retired
from
teaching in 2000.

In 1997, John was chosen as a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects.

John not only loved to teach, he loved to learn. His adolescent hobby of
shortwave radio listening led to a lifetime of radio study, and eventual
expertise. John was internationally known as a radio antenna designer and
tester. His standards were high, and he was never satisfied. John had a great
interest in the history of radio, as well.
He co-authored four books on the history of the Zenith Radio Corporation with
his dear friend, Harold Cones.

He and Harold also co-authored the book Dangerous Crossings, and account of
the
first modern polar expedition in 1925, in which radios and airplanes were
first
used in the far north.

From 1988 to 1992, John self-published six annual editions of Proceedings, a
compilation of articles written by short-wave radio enthusiasts, sharing their

expertise about this unusual and technically complicated hobby.

In 1986, John and Linda vacationed in the San Juan Islands in Washington
State.
They loved the area so much, they eventually bought property for a second
home,
which they designed and built themselves over the course of several years, the

ultimate do-it-yourself project.
Of all his many and diverse interests, John was most passionate about his role

as both an educator and advocate for his students.

John is survived by his wife of 46 years, Linda, of Stillwater, Oklahoma and
Orcas Island, Washington, daughter Mary Ellen Nesser, her husband Noel Nesser,

and grandchildren Katherine and Charles Nesser, of Fort Worth, Texas.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Endowment fund at First United
Methodist Church, 400 W. 7th St., Stillwater, Oklahoma.
