Title: Bob Barker Donates $1M to Drury University
Post by: chad1m on February 06, 2008, 07:56:01 PM
From the AP through Yahoo! News. (http://\"http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080206/ap_en_tv/people_bob_barker;_ylt=Ah3gLowC26MOn_5F5QUeBYCs0NUE\") It notes that Drury was indeed his alma mater and that this money is for the university to establish an undergraduate animal-ethics program.

"If young people are introduced to the terrible exploitation and mistreatment of animals in society, it will help influence them in anything they do... What I'm hoping is that this will become a model for other undergraduate schools."

And this town won't name anything after him because in the words of the esteemed mayor:  "People don't want to change addresses".  

I'm hearing Bob may be in town next week.  I'll post details as I know them.

Witnesses to the exchange have verified that the dean of the school did, in fact, spin the wheel all the way around before it landed on the $1.00 during his bonus spin.
