We’re here in North Carolina to join in celebrating the graduation of one of our nieces from Duke University.  She will receive a degree in mechanical engineering.  Yesterday, we saw her commissioned a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force.  She’s already received assignment to a major air base in the Upper Midwest.

 

“Look on every exit as being an entrance somewhere else.”  (Sir Tom Stoppard, Anglo-Czech playwright)

 

“A transition period is a period between two transition periods.”  (George Stigler, Nobel-laureate economist (and one-time bookstore-visiting companion across St. Andrews, Scotland)
