Ross, who earned a law degree from
Wayne State University in 1965, began
his career as a tax attorney at Coopers &
Lybrand in Detroit and went on to
become assistant vice president in the
real estate subsidiary of Laird Inc. in
New York City and the corporate
finance department of Bear, Stearns &
Co. before striking out on his own.
The gift to U-M took about two years
to arrange; said Ross. Why $100 mil-

Ross, nephew of Franldin philanthro-

Mumford High School before moving to
Miami Beach.

Medsker of Franklin. "He always looked
up to Max and what he did in his life,"
she said.

was a great influence in all the cousins'
lives," she said. "My parents would have
loved to see Stephen do this."
Max Fisher called the gift "magnifi-
cent," and Ross "top-notch."
Ross calls his uncle several times a
week and visits the Michigan area several
times a year. He's an avid U-M football
fan, but won't say whether he bets on
any games with his uncle, who played on
the Ohio State University football team.
"He's a remarkable young man and he
wanted to do the right thing," said
Fisher. "I built the business school at
Ohio State, and he used to say we need
