Mom: BS Nursing 1966, Dad BA Psychology 1965 MBA 1967. They raised me to believe that Michigan was the only place to go to college and they saved enough to pay for my UM degree. That's worth a tie for #1 right there.

Went to his hockey camp as a young lad and have been in love with Michigan ever since. The guy bleeds blue and is pure hockey.

Great guy!

Lousma is a good choice--also add to his accomplishments that he was the CAPCOM (spacecraft communicator in Houston) during much of the Apollo 13 mission--but he technically doesn't meet the requirements of this thread.

Also, as long as we are mentioning Apollo-era astronaut alums, I should mention probably the most accomplished of the group, James Alton McDivitt.
January 18th, 2014 at 12:38 AM ^
Not even close...from his masters thesis using an obscure math from Boole to everything involving information and communication (including the frickin web and cell phones)...he is it and its not even close...as a distant 2nd...Leith and Upatniks for inventing the hologram

As a Michigan Daily alum one of the stories that gets passed around is that when Thomas Dewey & Arthur Miller (not at the same time but close) the editors assigned Dewey to the arts section and MIller to news.

Samuel Ting showed up on campus with $100 in his pocket without being able to speak English. He became a Nobel Laureate, discovered the j/psi particle, and was an all-around CERN bad ass:

I was lucky to see him talk when I was an undergrad and he actually had some pretty funny stories about his time in A2.
