LOL. "Bucky" Waters, "Buck" Duke. I know the story of "Buck" Duke and his "Poor Little Rich Girl" daughter Doris. http://www.lib.duke.edu/archives/history/james_b_duke.html
Yep - knew this too. Was made into a so so movie staring Lauren Bacall in the title role. She died old, alone and bitter with everyone trying to take advantage of her. I never knew Furman was part of the Duke Endowment until I took my son there to look at the campus and discovered they had just finished the "Duke Library".
Before this internet thingy we oldsters had to read books. Here's a good one I once read about the origins of Duke
"The Dukes of Durham"
