Since there are no formal commencement celebrations, in recognition of all graduates in the Class of 2020, particularly my beautiful, youngest daughter, two of my favorite commencement quotes: “I wish my Mother could be here at this ceremony, she was a realist and a wise one. I remember her saying, “it’s not so important that you go to college. What’s important is that you get an education.” She felt that a person does not become educated because he is taught but because he is given a desire to learn.”—Bob Hope “Surely the shortest commencement address in history—and for me the most memorable—was that of Dr. Harold E. Hyde. He reduced his message to the graduating class to these three ideals.” KNOW YOURSELF-Socrates CONTROL YOURSELF-Cicero GIVE YOURSELF-Jesus Christ —-“ Walter T.
