Christopher Moves
On January 1, 1976, Christopher and his family had moved to Annandale, Virginia, because his father got a job in NASA over there. As Billie and Walt had been together, Walt still has not divorced his wife from a previous relationship. Before Chris and his sister, Carine, had even been born, Walt had six children with this woman, and yet, Chris and his stater had not even been aware of this other woman and the six other siblings they had until 1986. -
Chris' Graduation
Chris had passed high school with an outstanding 3.72 GPA. The main things that Chris had driven for while in Wilbert Tucker Woodson High School were being the captain of the cross country team and idealism. -
Chris Graduates from Emory
Chris graduates from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia. His father wanted to buy Chris a brand new car, but Chris loved his yellow Datsun, so he was sort of offended that his Dad wanted to spend that much money on another car. And even though his goal was to go to Harvard, with his amazing grades, he realized that he wanted to stop impressing his dad. So, Chris decided to head out on a journey to Alaska in his yellow Datsun, where he would have no contact with his family and friends again. -
OXFAM Donation
On the same say as graduation, Chris decided to give his entire savings to the company OXFAM. He gave the company a donation of about $24,000.
