Message: [QUOTE="CaliCuse, post: 1393238, member: 324"] Yes ,it may have come back under Gross' reign but it might have taken the classic "offer he couldn't refuse" to get him to do it. I spent time with this guy when he came west with Boeheim and Fox for a fund raising thing in LA. There was some bar time.After ordering my customary martini gin three olives I met a man who was there and said he had gone to school with Gross. When Gross' PHD were mention by another guy there. The first man shook his head and snorted and derisively repeated the title PHD. When he got that out of his system he said. "I don't know how that was possible". BTW I was entirely sober. I think the amount of ginMIGHT have filled one olive. I never did get a buzz going. Boeheim was there and talking up DC2's commit. He stated that he would be a big "presence the low post".Speaking to the man was like not informative nor pleasant. He was aloof to everyone around him. Not at all. It was like he was forced to mingle with the great unwashed. I assure you I was not "unwashed" He just didn't seem personable on any level. Jimmy knew of that I was in a wheelchair so when raising my hand to ask a question I had the advantage of playing the "crip card" which I didn't and don't like doing. I remember the first time that being in a wheelchair seemed to help. My wife and I were in line of a very long line way in the back. I can't remember the movie but when they started allowing patrons to go into the theater anchor pointed us to come up at that time. As I rolled up I could almost feel the resentment that I was going in before them. The theaters in the Bridgwater Commons mall in NJ had a space which made it a good place for disabled viewers to sit with their care takers. Sorry for the digression. [/QUOTE]
