Phillips said in a statement released by the university. "I would do anything to help these kids."
     Phillips' new roommate, Kyle Sharp, has joined him for the last 600 miles of the trip. Students and
other members of the USD community are expected to join him for the last 13 miles.

miles away resonates(共鳴) with USD's mission to prepare future leaders to change the world for the
better," Pamela Gray Payton, assistant vice president of public affairs at USD, said in a prepared

     It was the summer of 1960. Deluca, then 17, visited Peter Buck, a family friend. Buck asked Deluca
about his plan for the future. "I'm going to college, but I need a way to pay for it," Deluca recalls saying.
"Buck said, 'you should open a sandwich shop.'"
     That afternoon, they agreed to be partners. And they set a goal: to open 32 stores in ten years. After
doing some research, Buck wrote a check for $1,000. Deluca rented a storefront (店面) in Connecticut,
and when they couldn't cover their startup costs, Buck kicked in another $1,000.
     But business didn't go smoothly as they expected. Deluca says, "After six months, we were doing
poorly, but we didn't know how badly, because we didn't have any financial controls." All he and Buck
knew was that their sales were lower than their costs.
     Deluca was managing the store and to the University of Bridgeport at the same time. Buck was
working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York. They'd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm
ideas for keeping the business running. "We convinced ourselves to open a second store. We figured we
could tell the public, 'We are so successful; we are opening a second store.'" And they did-in the spring
of 1966. Still, it was a lot of learning by trial and error.
     But the partners' learnasyougo approach turned out to be their greatest strength. Every Friday,
Deluca would drive around and handdeliver the checks to pay their supplies. "It probably took me two
and a half hours and it wasn't necessary but as a result, the suppliers got to know me very well, and the
personal relationships established really helped out," Deluca says.
     And having a goal was also important. "There are so many problems that can get you down. You just
have to keep working toward your goal," Deluca adds.
     Deluca ended up founding Subways Sandwich, the multimilliondollar restaurant chain.
