thanks. I found that as well. I have called the Alumni Center. my wife graduated and neither of us can recall who spoke. In 89 it was Bill Clinton following his disastrous Dem Convention keynote speech. 88 is a blackout.

A Tiger Droppings post from few years ago listed John Breaux for the December 1988 commencement.
But no dice finding Spring.

The way the trend is going in a few years it's going to be Chris Guillot just yelling go tigers for 25 mins.
