Local legend has it that .. when Mary Gates worried that her son, Bill Gates III, was dropping out of Harvard to focus on his fledgling software company, she sat her son down with Mr. Stroum for some advice over lunch.

Mrs. Gates was a UW regent and civic activist who first worked with Sam Stroum on a United Way campaign.

Stroum encouraged young Gates to forget Harvard and continue with his plans for what has become Microsoft.
