I had a great Hunter today I’ve been the commencement speaker for the PhD graduates of Carnegie Mellon’s electrical and computer engineer in department. As I was about to begin speaking I realized it was the 30th anniversary of my own PhD there and that I have never really been to the official commencement. We have had to come back to Vermont… And Diane had arranged For a surprise party for me in the park… She put on my bathroom and made a mortar board And we had our own ceremony.

This was my first official ceremony… And it was great to see you were about 21 new PhD’s from a department where I am now on the advisory board. There is so many great projects and so much hope and optimism after such a tough year.



I was so proud to be part of it

Nite all, nite sam
