We have invited some of 36 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:05.319 the most important people in the college admissions process. They 37 00:02:05.400 --> 00:02:09.800 make themselves available to us. Bill Fitzsimmons, who's the Dean 38 00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.680 of Admissions, the longtime dean of admissions at Harvard College 39 00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:18.759 Harvard University, and also Grant Goslin, who is the admissions director. 40 00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.520 They have different titles at Boston College. So if you 41 00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:28.000 have a person in your family who is coming up 42 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:33.520 towards that college experience, someone in the freshman and sophomore 43 00:02:33.759 --> 00:02:36.879 junior year of high school and they want to talk 44 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:41.759 with either Bill Fitzsimmons of Harvard or Grant Goslin of 45 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:48.199 Boston College an extremely extremely critical period of time, get 46 00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:51.879 advice on the admissions process. If you're a parent and 47 00:02:51.960 --> 00:02:56.159 you have a question about the cost of colleges or universities. 48 00:02:56.800 --> 00:02:59.159 We do this every year. It'll be at eight o'clock 49 00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:03.400 on Monday, December ninth, So please mark your calendar and 50 00:03:03.439 --> 00:03:10.120 tell your friends about this, because again it's an opportunity 51 00:03:10.520 --> 00:03:13.800 to talk with either Bill Fitzimmons of Harvard or Grand 52 00:03:13.800 --> 00:03:17.199 Gostlin of Boston College. Not that that's going to get 53 00:03:17.240 --> 00:03:20.560 you in to either one of those schools, but hey, 54 00:03:20.919 --> 00:03:25.240 sometimes you can pick up a tip and just learn 55 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.159 about the college process because it goes by very quickly 56 00:03:28.159 --> 00:03:32.280 and it's daunting. Now, I also want to very quickly 57 00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:35.680 just review our week, as I always do, and then 58 00:03:35.719 --> 00:03:38.360 we're going to go to brushes with celebrity. And I 59 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:40.800 know that many of you realize that is my favorite 60 00:03:41.199 --> 00:03:44.919 twentieth hour of the week. It is the twentieth hour 61 00:03:44.960 --> 00:03:48.599 because if you calculate five nights, four hours a night 62 00:03:48.639 --> 00:03:51.039 from eight to midnight, it works out the twenty hours. 63 00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:54.039 And this is number twenty. And what we do with 64 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:58.159 brushes with celebrities. We invite you to call and tell 65 00:03:58.240 --> 00:04:02.120 us an experience that you've had with a celebrity.

And 69 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.800 I also ask you if you've had a good experience 70 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.919 with someone who you've met. Sometimes you meet someone on 71 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:19.759 an airplane, you meet them sitting in a I don't know, 72 00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:24.040 in a restaurant, walking along the street. If you've got 73 00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:26.959 a good experience, we love to hear a celebrity who 74 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.720 treats you well. If you've had a bad experience or 75 00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.800 an ugly experience, feel free to tell us that story 76 00:04:32.800 --> 00:04:37.920 as well.

I'll bet you Gary has some stories. 204 00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:39.399 Go ahead, Gary, I got one. I met Rush Conway 205 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:44.639 before he passed passed away? You know who Rush Conway was? 206 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:45.559 You know? 207 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:47.799 I think I should know, but I'm blanking on it. 208 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.320 Go ahead, Well it's right down your alley because you're 209 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:55.720 a hockey guy throughout your life and as a kid. Yes, hockey. 210 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:59.799 Uh he wrote the book Uh that exposed Allen Eagleson. 211 00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:03.240 Yes, absolutely, he's a hockey writer. And he was based 212 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:07.039 up was he Lowell? Up in that neck of the woods. 213 00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:10.759 He was an Eagle Tribune sports writer for a decade. 214 00:14:11.159 --> 00:14:13.840 Lawrence Eagle Tribune. Sure, No, I'm sorry I blanked on 215 00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:18.279 the name. I a good guy. By the way, from 216 00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:18.720 what I. 217 00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:21.799 Understand, did you ever have him on as a guest? 218 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.559 Never did? Never did. No, I never was doing TV. 219 00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:30.320 I was doing TV at the time. So I'm guessing, 220 00:14:30.519 --> 00:14:33.279 if I had to, I'm guessing Russ has probably been 221 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.000 gone for twenty years. What do you think? 222 00:14:35.679 --> 00:14:36.080 Boom? 223 00:14:36.120 --> 00:14:38.759 Yeah, he must have died in his mid fifties. But 224 00:14:38.960 --> 00:14:41.320 here's the catch. Okay, when I met him int the 225 00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:45.320 Haveral Chinese restaurant, He's sitting at the bar eating and 226 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:47.080 I go up to him and make some conversation with 227 00:14:47.159 --> 00:14:49.279 him before. Now I saw him from a distance before, 228 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:51.360 because after all, he was local because I used to 229 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.600 live in the Merrick Valley. But here's something I go 230 00:14:53.679 --> 00:14:57.159 right after from Russ talking on this stat blank blank blank, 231 00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:59.679 I'm talking about Sterry o'rally, and he says, oh, he 232 00:14:59.720 --> 00:15:02.159 blows the Hall of Fame. He had a different brand 233 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.279 of hockey, but he definitely he was had the type 234 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:08.639 of playmanship that deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. 235 00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:12.720 And then he said something about obviously Ellen Eagleson, it'll 236 00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.039 stay with you and me forever. He goes like, yes, 237 00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:17.759 I'll tell you how upset the players were. Instead of 238 00:15:17.840 --> 00:15:20.000 just talking about the criminal act of killing someone, he 239 00:15:20.039 --> 00:15:23.519 goes against. Brad Pack said it so poetically. He said, 240 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.720 I'm going to the Hall of Fame, Russ, and I'm 241 00:15:26.720 --> 00:15:28.960 going to rip that plaque off the wall if they 242 00:15:28.960 --> 00:15:29.960 don't put him in jail. 243 00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.320 Wow. Yeah. By the way, he passed away at the 244 00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.159 age of seventy in twenty nineteen, so he hasn't been 245 00:15:39.200 --> 00:15:44.480 gone that long. But he was a great reporter, great writer. 246 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:47.840 But he was a writer who was also a reporter. 247 00:15:47.960 --> 00:15:50.320 He did his homework yep. 248 00:15:50.600 --> 00:15:52.159 So brad Pack that's a story for you. 249 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.120 Yeah, that's a good one too. Let me tell you. Thanks, Gary, 250 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:59.559 appreciate it.
