News article: SC student studying at Stanford is Rhodes Scholar
Congrats to Kate! That is very cool. I met Kate when dad Dr. Greg Niehaus and she came to visit Duke. She "settled" for Stanford, I guess...
Anyway, Kate should know that Angus had an important role in her past. Because Angus used to sing this song, loudly, when "House" was around. I should note, we called Dr. Niehaus "Cuddles," because he was captain of the 1979 Kenyon football team in college. (His teammates called him "House." He's still tied for the Kenyon record for most interceptions in a single game: 3 against Grove City College in 1979) . Just LOOK at the guy: clearly he should be called "Cuddles."
The song:
Cuh-cuh-cuh-Cuddles!
Beautiful Cuddles!
He's the only math-uh-matt-ish-uhn we adore!
By the luh-light of
A silvery slide rule
He'll be differentiating on the floor!
I am 100% serious, by the way. We really did sing this. And Angus really did make it up. Congrats to Greg and Liz, and of course to Kate.

Awesome! Big ups to the whole Cuddles family!
Remember how worried Greg was at his wedding that we'd tell his football friends (some of whom went to Notre Dame) his economics nick-name?
Remember how funny they thought is was when we did tell them about 5 minutes after meeting them?
It was clearly a mistake to invite us to ANY wedding. But for people as nice as Liz and Greg to invite us.... inexplicable. Except that they are nice.
I thought it was important to preserve the "Cuddles" song for posterity.
Yeah, it was a mistake for you and Donna to invite me and Chateau to YOUR wedding too. Will you guys accept a 25 year overdue apology?
In deference to his storied past as a footballer Cudddles did shoulder a second nickname: TD, but of course it stood for Total Differentiation.
As for begging Mike & Donna for forgiveness, there's no statute of limitation on the crimes we committed...
Who remembers?
K-k-k-katie?
.
That's the tune, TMI!
