Doggystyle,
Kudos to your fraternity brother!

As well as Ronald McNair, who graduated from MY alma mater, North Carolina A & T State University!
AGGIE PRIDE!
*ETA: Apologize for repeating info in the above post. I was in the middle of posting and trying to find out if Ronald McNair pledged Mu Psi at A & T and couldn't find the info; hence the repeat.

In a roundabout way, I just learned about Robert H. Lawrence on Wikipedia! Extremely impressive bio.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_...Lawrence%2C_Jr.
And yes I know Wikipedia isn't the most reliable source, but it's a start and I know how to keep going in my research.
