[Old Fart Hijack] for **Belladonna** and **Scuba\_Ben** : While a student there, my dad got to know the president of Case (before it merged with Western Reserve) pretty well. One day at a party the president tells my dad,

"Bob, I make it a point to meet all of my ‘A’ students, because they’re likely to come teach here someday…

…and I get to know all the “C” students, because someday they’re the ones who’re going to give a lot of money to the University…"

Franklin Pierce High School, 1975  
While in the Navy I took classes at Skagit Community College and San Diego State University. After the Navy some more classes at Pierce Comminity College and finally about 10 years ago an AA from Green River Comminity College. Yes, it’s the same Green River that the infamous killer received his nickname.
