Mr. Burger was born on April 25, 1917 and educated in Lynchburg Public Schools. He later graduated from Virginia Military Institute in 1938.

Following the war, Lieutenant Burger was honorably discharged and he began his career with the Corps of Engineers in Norfolk. During his 30 year tenure with the Corps, he participated in numerous post-war projects in the Roanoke and Norfolk areas.

Following his retirement from the Corps of Engineers in 1975, Mr. Burger devoted his time and efforts to V.M.I. in particular to it's library.
