“I had a genie in my life.”
Standing in front of dozens of students Tuesday at Green Bay West High School, John Morgridge choked up as he talked about that genie – actually his older brother, who talked him into enrolling at the University of Wisconsin-Madison after he graduated from Wauwatosa High School more than 50 years ago.
Now, Morgridge said, he and his wife, Tashia, want to do the same for thousands of Wisconsin high school graduates, granting their wishes to have the financial resources to attend college.
