I attended a popup theater in Austin where one of the guest speakers (Gregory Watson) was the gentleman who was influential in getting the 27th amendment passed.

He, per his teacher, was a mediocre student at UT Austin and only received a C on the class he was attending. He was, however, dogged enough to persuade the states to ratify the amendment.

His former teacher had learned of his role in getting the amendment passed and during the show, the UT President presented Gregory with an upgraded grade (A).
