Growing up in Washington County, Bristol, Virginia he had nine siblings. He attended VPI as a freshman in 1917, according to The Bugle (VPI Annual), with a major in Agriculture. While a student at VPI, he participated in the Bristol club, Cotillion club, and the Planters club. In 1919, his junior year, he played VPI football as a halfback. Although he filled out both Draft Registration Cards for WWI and WWII as a Naval Reserve. Though there is no information in relation to his service, Robert never graduated from VPI, which could imply that he dropped out in order to serve in WWI.

Electrical Engineering Graduated Yes or no, did this individual graduate from VPI? Yes Biographical Text Goolrick was born into a longtime residential family in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He attended Virginia Polytechnic Institute (VPI) and graduated with a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering in 1907. While attending VPI, he was Vice-President of German Club, President of German Club, a member of the Historian Rappahannock Valley Club, and Secretary and Treasurer of the Rappahannock Valley Club. He played on the baseball team from 1904 to 1905 and on the football team from 1905 to 1906 (Bugle). There was a remark made of him in the yearbook that states, “Bob was famous for his good looks, Took better with girls than with his books.” Goolrick was popular, attractive, and well-liked by his peers. He was married at the age of 40, according to the 1930 Census. Nicknames or Other Names "Bob" County and/or State Virginia Birth Date 9 June 1886 (1900 Census) Birthplace Fredericksburg, Virginia Death Date 13 November 1946 (Public Family Tree) Cause of Death Heart attack while at dinner with his wife.

Retired as a Colonel in the Air Service Corps Military Events What significant military events occurred in this individual's life? Robert E. Goolrick, as of the 1910 census, was a Lieutenant in the U.S. Army. Was stationed at San Francisco, Letter Gen. Hospital from 1915-1916 (U.S., Returns from Military Posts). Around 1915-1916, R.E. Goolrick was accounted as “absent” on a Return from Military Post spreadsheet and accounted for as a “loss” on another. The reasoning behind this listing is unknown. After the First World War, in the year 1921, Goolrick graduated Air Service Pilot School (U.S., Select Military Registers, 1862-1985). According to the 1930 Census, Goolrick’s occupation was that of a U.S. Army Officer. In 1943 during the Second World War, Goolrick was a commanding Colonel at the Technical School and Basic Training Center No. 2 for Army Air Forces Eastern Technical Training Command in Keesler Field, Mississippi. This information is found in a correspondence he sent to Jewish Personnel at the school discussing the observation of a Jewish holiday. He is documented on an army death certificate to have enlisted in the Air Force on September 19, 1944, although there is a marking which crosses that year out and writes a correction above it which is illegible. Goolrick was a Christian and at the time of his death in 1946, a Latin Cross was selected to mark his grave (U.S. National Cemetery Interment Control Forms).
