I was under the impression that he never actually graduated from any four-year school (I KNOW that he quickly dropped out of Fordham, those Jesuits being pretty smart guys) and that the Wharton thing was all about family money. and doesn't he CLAIM to be a Wharton graduate?

I once got into it with a high school friend who kept insisting that TFF had to know something about business because he went to Wharton. I reminded him that the profoundly dyslexic Nelson Rockefeller had to hire other students to read to him when he was at Dartmouth (which is, based on two or three visits to friends who went there kind of a shithole because Hanover, N.H. isn't even really a TOWN and back then, if a Dartmouth student wanted to glimpse a human female, he'd have to drive at least forty miles) so therefore, TFF 's degree in Economics(!) indicated NOTHING. but I digress. the point is that the more we learn about TFF, the more shocking his total ignorance about everything becomes.
Hanover has turned into a yuppie town. No longer the nice town it was in my day. There was a tree for every boy. Road trips to Colby Jr, Smith, Holyoke, Green Mt College and Skidmore.
I always figured that once the place became coed, attending would be a lot less painful. and now, ANY school's gonna have a public gay presence. in the '60s, that naturally wasn't remotely the case. but you say it's actually populated enough to be a real TOWN?
I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at the yuppie thing although I can't figure out why it'd be a desirable location for anyone NOT affiliated with Dartmouth. I like university towns as a rule, having spent many happy days visiting friends in Ann Arbor. but it's (or WAS) also not far from what was once a great city. closest great city to Hanover is...what? Boston?

Yes, he CLAIMS Wharton graduation but several professors said back in 2015 that "no way!" was he a Wharton grad.
His total ignorance never a shock to me and I’m not even a New Yorker. Just can smell a phony, even on the airwaves…

obviously, I'm a city boy.
I have a friend who taught at Green Mountain; she was a history prof.
