            Good for him! From what I've read over the years he is regarded as one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet.

              It is a great accomplishment. Actually, this guy must be brilliant to capture a PhD after all those years of partying.

                I hope his professors approve his thesis. I've known some who don't until at least several attempts. Hope he gets lucky and gets his Ph.D by May for Dr. May.

                      Man, thirty years in college!

                      The parties, the hot chicks, whatta life!

                      Takes me back to my comparatively short six years...

                      Oh, but the fun.
