[edit] Alumni

What is the official definition of an alumni? There are a few people in the list (Selma Blair, Ty Warner) who attended but did not graduate from this college.--Theloniouszen 05:31, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

If you follow the link to Ralph Waite's biography, the biographer believes that he graduated from Bushnell University, which is not in Wikipedia. Perhaps the biographer meant Bucknell University, which also had American Baptist associations. In any case, it would appear that he may not have attended Kalamazoo. --MaxHund 17:50, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

He is a Detroit businessmen who has started and spun off numerous businesses including Trannon Enterprises (estimated 40 million dollars in annual revenue in the 1980's) before his mid 30's. His nickname, "Stormin Norman" allegedly comes from his business style during the late 1980's, taking his corporate opponents by storm. He currently manages a REIT started in the 1990's as well as a family business started by his grandfather. According to college records he played Basekball and Baseball at Kzoo with a notable aptitude for Baseball.
