Guest AG/DC Guests Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 When Donn Clendenon was a freshman in college (and he graduated from high school at 15, so he was a truly fresh freshman), who served as his big brother?
Guest Rockin' Doc Guests Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Wow! Okay, I cheated and googled the answer. I must say people could be guessing at this one for a long time. Pretty interesting trivia.
Valadius Old-Timey Member Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Hell, I don't know. Was MLK still there at that time?
Valadius Old-Timey Member Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Fine then. Was it Martin Luther King, Jr.?
Guest AG/DC Guests Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 Kids.Yes, Martin Luther King, Jr. was the man.He had already graduated, but requested the honor as Clendenon was a family friend and so young.Clendenon had a remarkable life.

Guest Rockin' Doc Guests Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 Vlad, how the hell did you know that? Curiosity got the best of me, so I cheated and looked it up. I truthfully, didn't think anyone would know that one.
