Bo graduated from the University of Richmond summa cum laude with honors in Greek and Religion in 1976. He earned a Master of Theological Studies with highest honors in 1979 from the Virginia Seminary and received further preparation for ordination at the Duke University Divinity School.

Their oldest son lives in Richmond and their youngest lives outside of Charlottesville.  It pleases Bo and Katherine to have them near by.  A favorite Bible passage comes from Revelation chapter 21:  "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth...and the one who was seated on the throne said, 'See, I am making all things new.'"
