No question, just a thank you for telling your story. If you haven't already, grandpa, please hook up with Spielberg's survivor interview project to have your story recorded for history. We can all learn so much from you. Thank you for your strength.

Back when I was graduating, I applied to 12 schools and chose GWU for early admission. I have two questions:

1. Can you publicly debunk any notion that there's a legal obligation to attend a school when you're admitted early decision?
2. The only school of 12 I was not admitted to was American University, also located in DC. I was never given a real good reason for the denial and always surmised it was because DC schools shared admissions lists. Can you confirm this or a similar practice? (FWIW, other schools I was admitted to include PSU honors, Carnegie Mellon, Mulhenberg, and F&M so I don't think it was credentials).

ETA: Question 1 results from the fact that I did not attend GW, despite their threats to the contrary.

Estimated has always been one of my favorite Dead songs. Can you share anything neat about how it was written or the impact I thought it had for the idolization of California in that era?
