"In particular, Roy's unqualified dedication to Duke Athletics is exemplified by his commitment to the institution as a student-athlete and, of course, by his extraordinary service and generosity since graduating in 1962. To be sure, both Roy and Merilee are Duke University treasures. We sincerely thank Roy and Merilee for their phenomenal support of Duke Athletics, as well as the entire university."[/FONT][/SIZE] [SIZE=2][FONT=tahoma][B]The Bostock gift is the third commitment of $5 million or more announced by the Department of Athletics in the past five months.
