ⓘ About Wil Haygood

As he was getting interviewed on Conversations with Allan Wolper on WBGO 88.3 FM, he revealed that he’d found another White House butler. However at the last minute, this butler, who had served three presidents, refused to be interviewed, because the man’s family apparently didn’t want his story out against the parallel story of President Barack Obama’s election. Haygood is a fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and a professor at Miami University. He entered Miami University in 1972. Like in high school, Wil was determined to earn a spot on Miami’s basketball team, and during the 1973-74 season, he was a proud member of the Miami University junior varsity team.
