Forever Buffs

Today is Graduation Day for the University of Colorado, Boulder’s Class of 2023.  Thirty-four years ago, it was the Class of 1989’s turn.  

CU Graduation 

May 12, 1989 B.B.

Actually, it was thirty-four years ago tomorrow.  I know because I keep my CU diploma framed on a wall in my office…and while my eyesight is not what it once was, I can still make out the date.  My thanks to whomever insisted on such large font.

May this year’s graduating Buffaloes enjoy a day that shall resonate in their memory for at least the next thirty-four years.  May the days that follow this one bring them much luck, much love, and much peace.
