Nothing personal against you, mapei, as we don't actually know each other, but I thoroughly enjoyed my undergrad days and (most of) the people I lived with, and seeing them when the opportunity arises, like Friday night when a fraternity brother from San Francisco was on campus for a meeting and the game. He made the effort to let me know he was going to be here and we had drinks and dinner at the Washy Duke before the game.
To get back on topic for this thread, I have no idea who my graduation speaker was. I do remember sitting in Wallace Wade under a very bright, hot sun with a 101F temperature and not passing out from it. My daughter graduated Magna Cum Laud, I graduated with Great Relief!
