The housing folks had done a great job crafting a diverse group of first-year students for each room and proctor group–in my very typical entryway, we had a number of international students, musicians, science buffs, a few athletes, prep-school kids, and obviously, an equal number of women and men.

But Corbett is taking no chances with his 10 grandkids. He does a three- to six-month prep with them, one by one, just before they reach age 3. First he takes them to the airport to accustom them to the roar of engines and the odor of fuel. When they're ready, they venture out on the wing, then into the cockpit. Only after they ask to go up does Corbett...
