When younger daughter graduated from Stanford in 2001, sans tuition aid, the commencement speaker was Carly Fiorina (then still thought to be HP's savior). It gets even worse. When her older sister graduated from Northwestern in 1997, sans tuition aid, the commencement speaker was Bill Cosby (then still America's beloved father who knew best).
Our family suffered through "Hey hey hey, Fat Albert luvs him some Puddin' Pops" and "So then I answered phones at a real estate agency right here in Palo Alto."
Happily, the educations that my kids got far outweighed the self-infatuated crap they heard on graduation day. So now, quite a few years out, both are happy with their lives.
