"An aunt had some money, and she paid for the first boy to go to college. When he graduated he paid for the second boy to go to college. The third boy wasn’t academic and went into the Army and became a lifer. The 4th and 5th also went to college, paid by the prior graduates. The girls were not expected to, and did not go to college. The last boy to graduate paid back the Aunt, almost 20 years later. Quite a good use of the money"

That is just an awesome story ! Family banded together, luv how the youngest one paid
back the Aunt who initiated the whole chain. Sounds like the same method used by the modern immigrants from Asia and elsewhere who came to America. Probably not good for the Country
that the chain of immigrant success stories has been broken by the current policies
installed.
