This is not accurate and would have benefited from further research. My grandfather passed away bankrupt. He was able to stay in this house because he signed ownership over to the university before he declared bankruptcy. If not for that, he and my grandmother would have had to move to another location. Upon my grandmother's death, the university sold the house and auctioned off everything in the house. All the money went to the university.

Welcome to Noirish LA and so nice to see your post. Well, what to say, there is nothing like having some information directly from a ''direct source''...so to speak. I hope that doesn't sound too redundant.

Hope to see anything you have to post on your Pepperdine ancestry.
