He's Canadian but one of his parents is Jamaican and the other is Bahamian. I was shocked that he's a Princeton first.

My Dad went to Princeton, and he passed in 1998. He would have done two things. 1) He would have started a standing ovation, and 2) He would have asked why this took so long. So damn long.
