We had Ted Kopple in '86. I think. Just looked it up. Correct. (So memorable.)
We were supposed to have Sandra Day O'Conner at GT the year before, but something happened and we had a substitute Regent. I was so busy trying not to throw up, I wouldn't have remembered, having spent the night and morning before passed out in a fetid pond we made in front of the house because what else is one to do on their last night of college?
When my son commissioned at Annapolis it was supposedly an Obama year, but for whatever reason we had Sec Def. Not a great speaker. The Commandant of the Marine Corps on the other hand....I'd follow that guy into battle. (Which I guess, is why he is COMC.) The flyover was pretty epic. Wow, was it hot and humid.
My daughter's commencement speaker at U Portland was not very famous, but was really good. It was one student walking across the stage, however, that brought down the house. I'll never forget it.
