Yes. And he didn’t take up the offer.
He decided to go to Yale instead.
So you’re saying he was offered a FULL SCHOLARSHIP?
There was no offer.
They did not call it a scholarship at Westpoint but what he was offered was basically the same and even better than a scholarship because what Westmoreland offered him was to pay ALL his expenses including spending money. What a non story this was.
And he only had one ten dollar bill in his pocket which is exactly what he needed to apply to Yale. Providence.
