[Rebels1972] Cap and Gown

[Fred Atkinson]

Hi, Pat, 

     Good to hear from you.  

     Susan is getting ready for a wedding?  Will her better half have something to say about that (just kidding)?  

     That's an event I've never done.  I've attended a few, but never been in one.  It would be near impossible to get me into a penguin suit.  

     One of my colleagues asked me why I didn't think about having a child (last night, in fact).  If I had a child now, I'd be seventy by the time he or she graduated high school.  

      Stay in touch, 



                                               Fred

HELLO FRED, 

IT HAS BEEN VERY QUIET.  I GUESS EEVERYONE I GETTING READY FOR BACK TO SCHOOL, OR THEY MAY BE TAKING A LAST MINUTE VACVTION.  

I HOPE EVERYONE HAS HAD A GOOD SUMMERWITH NO PROBLEMS.  I KNOW SUSAN IS GETTING READY FOR A WEDDING.  THAT WILL OCCUPY MORE THAN A FEW MINUTES A DAY.   I'VE BEEN TO ONE THIS SUMMER AND HAVE TWO MORE TO GO.  I CAN HARDLY WAIT.

GLAD TO HEAR YOU ARE DOING WELL.

Fortunately, I've got a lady here in the department that is going to make sure I don't make any dumb mistakes when I put it on.  But all we are going to do is sit on the side and be their supporting professors.  We walk in together, sit down together, and sit through 450 names being called.  After that, we all go home for the weekend.
