Or almost 167 Cam Newton's.

Maybe not all of our chandeliers in our Grove tents are fake after all.

This guy is kind of a baws. I want him to be my granddad.

quote:

After graduating from Harvard Medical School, Hollingsworth completed his surgical residency at Duval Hospital in Jacksonville, Florida. From 1957 to 1959, he was a U.S. Navy flight surgeon and then started his private medical practice in 1959 in Fort Walton Beach.

Besides his medical practice, Hollingsworth owned a number of profitable luxury automobile dealerships in Fort Walton Beach and, over time, found great success in commercial real estate investing.

Lots of endowments/gifts are made with stock. My guess would be this is one of those (at least partially).

I think the biggest thing this proves is that an Ole Miss engineering degree sets you up well for getting your M.D. at Harvard.

Or at least it did in 1949. Similar times, though.

This guy graduated in 1949 when Ole Miss wouldn't allow blacks to go to school there.

T-minus 10 minutes until they are forced to give it back.

I agree with your Baws statement. He's a cool dude and probably gives solid graduation gifts to his grandkids.

Yea, something like an island in the Pacific or a condo in Manhattan.

Or he's one of those stingy old bastards who wants to teach his grandkids lessons about being poor.

Oh, that's the worst. My dad said his inheritance is going to charity. I hope that's a joke or that he meant the BTTWW Charity. It's nothing like this Hollingsworth cat though. That dude probably has some niceass cheese in the fridge.
