We were two grandparents at the recent NWU graduation which honored you…and you honored us. As with everything you do, your “Be appropriate to the occasion” was in perfect taste, with a touch of humor and warmth. Thank you.

I loved your speech! It was the best commencement speech I’ve ever heard. I just wish we could have heard all of it. Thank you so much.

I agree! Your speech was one of the best parts of the ceremony (second only to when all hell broke lose with the storm) even in its abbreviated form, and I’d love to hear the whole thing.

I graduated this year and absolutely loved you speech, but was disappointed that it had to be abbreviated. Is there any possibility of you posting a transcript or, better yet, a video recording of the full speech? It would be very much appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
