WHEN
DENNIS
Cosgrove
was
an
undergraduate
student
of
mine
at
the
University
of
Virginia
in
the
early
1990s
,
I
found
him
to
be
____________________
.
He
was
doing
terrific
work
in
my
computer
lab
.
He
was
a
teaching
assistant
in
the
operating
systems
course
.
He
was
taking
graduate
level
____________________
.
And
he
was
an
A
student
.
?
That
turned
out
to
be
a
serious
____________________
,
as
it
was
not
the
first
time
he
had
a
semester
in
which
he
earned
straight
A's
with
an
F
.
It
was
two
weeks
into
a
new
semester
when
Dennis's
checkered
____________________
record
caught
the
attention
of
a
certain
dean
.
?
.
?
Then
I
got
even
pushier
.
I
went
tactical
.
The
new
____________________
had
already
begun
.
The
university
had
cashed
Dennis's
____________________
check
.
By
doing
so
,
as
I
saw
it
,
we
were
telling
him
?
.
?
The
dean
was
taken
aback
.
?
You're
a
junior
____________________
member
,
?
he
said
.
?
You're
not
even
tenured
yet
.
Why
are
you
sticking
your
neck
out
and
making
this
the
battle
you
want
to
____________________
?
?
?
The
dean
took
a
long
look
at
me
.
?
I'm
going
to
remember
this
when
your
____________________
case
comes
up
,
?
he
said
.
In
other
words
,
if
Dennis
screwed
up
again
,
my
____________________
would
be
seriously
questioned
?
.
He
passed
Calculus
III
,
did
us
all
proud
,
and
after
____________________
,
went
on
to
become
an
award
-
winning
star
in
____________________
science
.
?
I
enabled
Dennis's
dream
way
back
when
he
needed
it
?
and
now
that
I
need
it
,
he
