True story but I had 2 great uncles born and raised here in Philly who went to Tuskegee for college and one of them (the oldest) stayed down there, got married (a couple times) and I think his youngest was born when he was around 70 years old. Last I saw him was in the mid-'70s so he is long gone but I wouldn't be surprised if the cousins (who I never met) are still down there.
