nobody said that he did - per the website there are several variations on this urban legend, as would be expected for a story that has been kicking around for close to 40 years. you can choose to still believe that the school awarded him A's whether or he earned them on his own or as a result of this tragedy but just know that this *IS* an urban legend and repeating second-(or third)hand info doesn't make it more plausible (i.e. you yourself did not get the A's, nor can you present a letter from a college stating that anyone received undeserved A's - or can you?). i too sometimes fall into this trap of repeating an unbelievable story that i have somehow believed and snopes is a good source to make sure you're not retelling an old wives tale that you have now made your own.

gotta go - just got an email from microsoft that they want to pay me $1000 for forwarding an email... :)
