Purdue Graduation, 20 Years Ago
June 14, 2008
Twenty years and one month ago today, I graduated from Purdue University’s Krannert School of Management. What a proud day. Since I previously flunked out of college but later received straight A’s, my Father actually shed a few tears at the ceremony. A happy day indeed.
I’ve been fortunate to be in the right place at the right time a few times in my career. Because of that luck, I feel like I’ve earned some success. Yet no matter what may be accomplished in the future, earning my degree from Purdue is by far my most proud accomplishment. Go Boilers! Hail Purdue! (don’t forget to check out the “with distinction” sticker on the right of my diploma).

Just one minor correction – you earned all “A’s” once you returned to Purdue plus one “B” in child psychology. As I recall the professor gave you the wrong information in the classroom which your notes showed, but he would not budge on his grade. Technically you should have received an “A” . I can still see your Dad crying at your graduation – it was a glorious day.

… and I shared a major part of your study sessions ! So thank me for setting you on the right path
