His Grandfather said, seeming too calm and collected for such an upsetting topic. Todd was so outraged he could hardly contain it, but he was used to bottling up his emotions. When he had graduated from Stanford, his Grandfather had not even shown up. He had thought Jan Vandenberg had not approved of his choice of school.
