HerbVic> Why is it so hard for you to grasp that these guys were no-bodys except for the Gates family name? I live near Seattle and I can't ever remember reading or hearing anything about William Gates II being anything more than a prominent attorney locally and Bill's mother Mary Gates was a school teacher who aslo served on the University of washington Board of Regents. Those qualifications are nothing special or different than hundreds of American parents around the country then and now. Even the "Lakeside school" often referenced as to where Paul Allen and Bill Gates met isn't really any better than many other private and or public schools in the Seattle area. Yes it is a good school but not out of reach to many families even ones without much wealth. I think you are giving the "Gates family name" in 1975-1980 too much credit. Regards Don
