Guest columnist John Telford writes about author-lecturer Wayne Walter Dyer's recently established $1-million scholarship fund for needy students at his alma mater, Wayne State University . Telford writes that Dyer decided to endow his Wayne State fund as a way to give back to a city and university that took a chance on him 43 years ago. Dyer was accepted at WSU on a provisional basis four years after leaving Denby High School in the 12th grade to join the Navy. "I realize now that the university gave me a big break by admitting me back in the early '60's," Dyer said. He went on to earn three degrees at Wayne State . A photo of Dyer is included.
