Wow. What a Great Read. Would encourage all to read. Exceptionalism. Amazing how just one individual can have such a positive impact on so many others.

Great man and Bulldog indeed. His endowment to the university 25 some odd years ago is probably the single reason I ended up going to Mississippi State instead of Virginia Tech or NC State (pukes in cereal bowl.)
