Those of you who know me are aware that I cry at the opening of supermarkets. I, uh, I uh, I've wept over ribbon cutting at a used car lot. I have really been in tears since I walked in here partly just for the nostalgia. But more than that is what I feel when I am with you and when I'm on this campus.

I'm going to try to talk about that if I can,

but it's been a moving morning already. I really truly I can't imagine anything

that I could say that would add anything to a remarkable morning.

I think, Corina, where are you,

Corina, your prayer.

The older I get, the more I listen to prayers.

I need them more, the older I get.

And I was very moved by your prayer. And then these two

remarkable dancers dancers since this neuropathy has hit me I can't put my socks on in the morning

and to watch those hoops. It was stunning beautiful. I don't know I'm I don't

who chose that piece to be part of this program but how wonderfully

appropriate. Shay's Baritone solo here. Robin was one of my students somewhere once along the way back

when the clay beds were settling and so it goes and our beloved Kevin and Peggy were then. Thank you

for the presidential message Kevin, but thank you for being presidential.

Thank you for every day trying to make this university what it's supposed to be.

There are only two or three living men who know the burden you carry.

And that has added to the nostalgia this morning for me. I love you Kevin and pray for you. I do literally pray for you as I pray for the destiny and course of all who serve here.
