OFF-TOPIC BUT NOT NEW Most of you might remember that I once described a 14-year-old boy I met while a volunteer at the Fool four years ago. He's the guy whose knowledge of banking made people think he was a middle-aged banker. He's also the guy who introduced Gemstar to me, helped me focus on it, and co-authored with me a Fool piece about it at Christmas time three (I think) years ago. It was that piece that NYStew saw that brought the three of us together of sorts. His name is Brent Harris. Tonight my wife and I visited with Brent. He remembers Stew well and asked that I pass on a "Hello." That chat took place in the atrium of the Kennedy Center. We were there because two hours earlier Brent and about 140 other graduating high school seniors from across the United States and Puerto Rico were recognized in the Kennedy Center Concert Hall for their accomplishments, leadership, and contribution to those around them. The recognition and opportunity to spend the week with fellow student leaders, senators, congressmen, the President and Nobel laureates was brought about by Presidential Scholars, a program funded partly by federal dollars and partly by private funds. The group of 140 were culled from those having the top 2500 SAT scores. The rigid screening and application process that Brent endured was described by his parent as more than twice as difficult and time consuming as his successful application to Standford, where he begins his college education in the fall. It was a very rewarding evening, as you can imagine. --Mike Buckley P. S. But he never bought Gemstar. :)
