Talk:Frederick W. Smith

message: The story is that he got a C on the paper he wrote at Yale not an F. In a recent Fortune article he said he couldn't actually remember what he made and that the story comes from an offhanded remark he made at some point "I was asked what grade I got on it, and I stupidly said, 'I guess I got my usual gentlemanly C.' That stuck, and it's become a well-known story because everybody likes to flout authority. But to be honest, I don't really remember what grade I got. I probably didn't get a very good one, though, because it wasn't a well-thought-out paper." Link to the Fortune article 
So can we remove that erroneous quote?--MarkO 23:47, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
