As I watch from a distance, an echo from 1970 has its way with me, again. It’s hard to appricate your position, as it was for me. For many, it was a hurdle to get over, it will now grow to one of the greatest sources of pride. You will never be here again, you will retain only memories. If I could provide a single piece of advice. Find a classmate and keep them for life. You will live longer and happier for it. Look back often, it’s a magic moment even for those who don’t yet realize the strength of my words, they will come upon you. Like all your predecessors. Forgive yourself for not knowing earlier what only time can teach.
