Former Congressman gives $2 million for SMU scholarship fund
Brady Gentry
The Dallas Business Journal reports about Brady P. Gentry, a former member of Congress and judge. He lived a while back (was an infantryman in WWI), liked SMU a lot and died in 1966. His will stated a scholarship fund would be started in his name at SMU. The school just announced that it got the money a couple months ago.
The DMN explains why, although it's not the most clear of explanations. Not bad. But not great.
Couldn't find a photo of Mr. Gentry, although there is this pencil or ink sketch from here, which I like because it makes us look kind of like the Wall Street Journal. OK, carry on.
