penzman Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Great family man? He cared so much about his daughter's admission in a university that the scores were changed for her, asking her to study a bit more or try somewhere else was of course a ridiculous idea. Bra-vo ... Setting a nice example for his children. "If you're not smart enough to make your way through life, buy your way through. I did! See?
