You are welcome. The ‘alternative’ commencement had hundreds of people turn out (they were expecting thousands.) I watched the news last night and the newsreporter was breathlessly announcing that the attendance had exceeded their expectations (6,000 were expected.) Then the camera pans around the events center and it was practically empty. It was after 10 pm here and Ralph Nader was prattling on still. The ‘alternative’ commencement started at 7:30 pm and was quite the Bush bash fest.
I’m looking forward to talking to my niece’s husband who graduated from BYU yesterday and attended the commencement ceremony. The crowd of 20,000 was very appreciatvie of Cheney’s remarks. He gave them good advice, such as failing in some areas does not mean you are a failure in life. He gave the example of his experience at Yale.
Thanks for the report on Vice-President Cheney. We are so blessed to have grown-ups leading this country right now!
Thank you for the welcome mat too.
