Graduation!

You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world.

~ Tom Brokaw

Tomorrow is the last day for Seniors at Irrigon Junior/Senior High School. The Class of 2007 will be the first to experience a commencement exercise in Irrigon since the last class of the Irrigon Comets in 1959.

Congratulations to all of you! You have the unique and thrilling experience of setting the standard for all who follow you ~ and you have set the bar high!

I am lucky to have gotten to know you all! I wish you all well in your futures!

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
