I know how he made his money. I know he likes to give it to us. But why? What is his connection to us? Is he from Lynchburg? Did his kids go here? What is the deal?

LUCONN: Just ask any insurance agent who has been around for awhile and they will tell you all you need to know about Mr Williams, and it won't be pretty. Upon donating the $70+mil to bail LU out a few years ago, I was asked if he had paid back all of the "Other" people first!! No doubt he has been a real financial asset for the University, but he is also getting a lot out of the relationship as well. But hey as long as the checks don't bounce, don't ask questions, that is my motto!!

no, I know all about him, his business, and what he's done. I also know what the naysayers say. There's always people trying to take you down. In business, someone is always going to be on the losing end and they'll take it personally.
