Trivia:
Andy didn’t own a car until he was 25 years old and finishing up grad school. He lived about a mile-and-a-half from campus and usually walked to and from school each day unless it rained or snowed. He would wear his shoes out so fast that he probably spent more money on shoes than other grad students did on automobile insurance!
