[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I worked at a firm where the managing partner of the office, a task master with a stern demeanor, was a staunch Princeton grad active in the alum community. His son had attended Princeton and seemed like a nice kid. The kid went to law school, trying to follow in his father’s footsteps but very tragically committed suicide prior to taking the bar exam. It seemed the weight of trying to uphold someone else’s legacy can be too much in some cases. [/quote] Maybe it had something to do with having a stern taskmaster as a father, too? Sounds like the poor kid had to toe a rigid line. Like the dad in Dead Poet’s Society, who chose a path for his son, which his son opted out of by committing suicide.[/quote]
