(THE COLLEGE FIX) – James Wilson will be the first to tell you he isn’t the perfect father. He lost control too easily.
His divorce in 2005 to the mother of his two daughters was admittedly difficult. His decision to allow his ex-wife to raise his preteen daughters without too much interference was another misstep. In retrospect, he said, he should have been more proactive, more assertive. Now it’s too late.
In May, James, a 69-year-old financial analyst and Air Force veteran, found himself in tears outside the campus planetarium in which his youngest daughter, Pennie, was celebrating her graduation, earning a PhD in physics.
