Awww, what a great moment for you! Congratulations!
Great commencement speech today. I think the most important thing you did was ask them to go back to those who have helped them get to graduation and thank them. Our stories our the collective sum of experiences with numerous individuals. Thanks for the inspiration.
Great speech today... I was actually attending the ceremony as I guest, but you gave me a bit of inspiration as well. My sister was the graduate today; I'm a freshmen at West Chester. I've been designing T shirts and selling them since I was a Sophomore in High School though. I've wanted to do something bigger with it for a while but never really had the means to. It struck me when you started talking about the wide-eyed youth having that "just do it" attitude and going after what they really want. I tried to find you after your speech but unfortunately I couldn't, too many red robe guys running around. Anyway, what I'm getting at is I think I have some really great designs for shirts. I'd like to show them to you and see what you think. I'd really appreciate some direction. If you would send me an email so that I might email you back with the designs attached, I would greatly appreciate it. Again, great speech.
Congratulations to you and your wife!
What an honor...this is FANTASTIC! Congratulations Dr. Marc Ecko! ;)
