Gwen in VA Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 The history department head at my kids' college has a similar story -- he started out as a janitor, took some classes, took some more classes, eventually got a Ph.D., and is now a highly-thought-of prof at the school where he used to be a janitor! Talk about inspirational! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
