The Third Generation of Tarheels Begins

This is my son, Travis. He's in Uncle Sam's Navy right now. When he was a child, the first poem he learned was from a cross-stitch that hung in his grandparents' house. The verse went like this:
"When I'm an old alumnus with
a grandchild on my knee,
I'll teach him that the
alphabet begins with U-N-C."

I googled to see if this was an oft used quote, and found only "When I'm an old alumnus with a grandchild on my knee, I'll teach him/her that the alphabet begins with A&T!!!"
