Greitens accused of using Missouri Boys State emails to benefit his campaign [View all]

In 2011, Tom Dwyer was one of the “best and brightest.”

After finishing his junior year at Vianney High School, the University City teen headed to the University of Central Missouri for eight days of learning about leadership and government at Missouri Boys State. Sponsored by the American Legion, the program since 1938 has produced governors, senators and business leaders.

People like Eric Greitens. In 1991, after his junior year at Parkway North High School, Greitens was a Boys Stater. Twenty years later, after graduating from Duke University with a degree in ethics, becoming a Rhodes Scholar and Navy SEAL and founding the nonprofit The Mission Continues, Greitens was a keynote speaker at Boys State.

That’s when Dwyer met the man who would become the first sitting governor in the state of Missouri to be indicted on a felony charge.
