And for the history buffs, Mannings High School has been graduating students since 1738 - YES - the year 1738 - well before the USA became the USA....

I did my graduate work at Princeton in 66 - 67. Glad to see he'll be there. Of course he's gonna love those Jersey winters. Can you say slush?

Hooray for Princeton...Hooray for Princeton...Hooray for Princeton....'cause Harvard SUCKS!
