My parents were divorced. They took turns paying my tuition, and I worked and paid for pretty much everything else.
Mrs. DeltAlum is quite a story, though. Her father owned a farm and put all four of his kids through college, including one through a Masters and another through Law school on an extremely tight budget. Quite an accomplishment. But his kids appreciated it. The day I met Mrs. DA, I hung around after a speech class and asked her if I could take her to dinner. She refused because she felt that her dad had worked so hard to make the money to pay for her schooling, including room and board, that skipping a meal in the dorm would be a waste of his money.
Thankfully, she changed her mind about the dinner.
