Kaplan University is predominantly a distance learning institution of higher education that is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission. Kaplan University was named in honor of Stanley H. Kaplan, who founded Kaplan Test Prep.
Woodes Rogers (ca. 1679 â 15 July 1732) was an English sea captain and privateer and, later, the first Royal Governor of the Bahamas. He is known as the captain of the vessel that rescued marooned Alexander Selkirk, whose plight is generally believed to have inspired Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe.
On Friday, Rogers died, leaving a legacy as a man who lived to feed the tired and hungry, to give the weary a break and a meal as the co-founder of iconic all-night diner chain Waffle House. The Tennessee native, who opened the first of his restaurants in Avondale Estates with partner Tom Forkner in 1955, was 97.
