WHBM, you might be interested to know that the Atlanta, Georgia High School from which I graduated in 1967 (gulp!) counted Wernher von Braun's daughter among its student body. Miss von B., who was two years my junior, was lovely and hyper-intelligent; she was, in fact, her class Valedictorian in 1969. Her proud father was to give the commencement address that year. Our school had a strict (and I mean STRICT!) prohibition against the consumption of alcoholic beverages. The single exception was Communion wine.
The day prior to Graduation, Miss von B. was spied by a faculty member actively drinking at a bar not far from campus. She was expelled the next morning and, to the best of my knowledge, never received a diploma. Her father was absent from the proceedings that day.
Perhaps he was too busy counting backwards from 10....
