May of 1990 I graduated from LSU. They moved the ceremony from the PMAC to Tiger Stadium. Our commencement speaker was some old guy and former governor of California. Each graduate was given four tickets for family/friends. I used three of them and I still have the other one in a box somewhere.

Strangely enough, my fiancé (now wife of 34 years) had graduated from LSU in May of 1989. Her commencement speaker was the governor of Arkansas.

That had to have been one of his last big public speeches. It's kind of wild to think about.

I graduated in December of 1989. We had no guest speaker: it was great not to listen to some politician bloviate.

I attended the May 89 graduation and remember thinking that Bill Clinton was really boring.

The May 90 graduation day was the day I had to start traveling to my first Air Force assignment. I liked Reagan, but I was okay with that.

Let's see one of you assholes top that


I didn't see the speech, but I did shake his hand in the Union afterward.
