He told me the story of when he applied to Georgetown circa 1960. He didn't hear from them after applying and decided to take a trip to the University. He made an appointment and sat down with a counselor. Within a few days, he received a notice that he had been accepted.
I give him a lot of credit...no one pulled strings...he took the initiative. He's an amazing man and I can assure you that he never took a hammer to his mother or knifed a friend.
