<p>The health system is now doing fabulously well and is a major contributor to the Penn endowment which I believe was up by $600 million this year by mid-May, bringing the total to over $5 billion.</p>

<p>Man I wish I could be a Penn student in a few decades when all these dreams are realized...now I know what it must be like for the Old Guard alumni who come back to Penn and see a campus that has grown exponentially from the one they knew.</p>
