After high school Dutch attended Temple University for Journalism but the distance never stopped Dutch from calling and checking in once a month to see how Jordan was doing at Desales. Anytime Dutch was on break from school or took a random trip home he made a point to not only check in with Jordan but also Jordan's parents. Jordan knows that if he ever needed anything, no matter where Dutch is, he could call him up and Dutch would be there no questions asked.
