WHAT MY FRIENDS WILL REMEMBER ABOUT ME: My interesting sense of humor and the difficulty they had pronouncing my name. HOW WOULD YOU SPEND $1,000,000? Pay for college, donate to help the Uighur Muslims in China, and invest the rest. IF YOU WERE STRANDED ON A DESERT ISLAND, WHAT 3 ITEMS WOULD YOU WANT WITH YOU?
