Ok then, I better go about earning my own. Congrats Wynton! All the best to you. Karen I figure, in nine years, when I am Wynton’s age, is someone gonna give one of these to me?

You are right, the pomp and circumstance was impressive, and the comments by everyone were indeed witty and clever. But you added such a celebratory refrain to the day that left us all with an even brighter smile as our "saints" marched out of the yard. Thank you for your grace and giving, and congratulations on you well deserved honor. I have watched you with amazement over the years, and it did my soul a world of good to see you being honored at Harvard.
