I love John to death. I hate it when this happens more than anybody in the world.

I'd love to take a couple of days off. It would be nice if we can get it clinched before we go to Florida. That would be ideal to take two or three days off.

[For the first few days on campus, the Leaks lived together in Chris' apartment. But after so many years of sharing a bedroom while growing up, that got old pretty quick.] Chris said to me, 'When is C.J. going to get an apartment, Dad?' ... They love each other, but they have to have their space.

The other employees love Chris. They take care of him, and they make sure he's doing OK.

Chris' career was outstanding here at the University of Maryland. He has contributed a great deal to our success the last 31/2 years. I'm fully confident Chris will be successful in life.
