He joked about how tough it was putting kids through college.
He had one in Medical school at Tufts (i think he said) and his family could barely afford to pay the tuition.
With his 1/4 to 1/2 billion wealth.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?

This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.

As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
