One day I was out walking my fi rst child in her stroller, and I saw an elderly man watching<br />
us intensely as he sat on a bench by the side of the road. As we passed by, he nodded<br />
at me and said, “You’re happier now than you know.” It seemed a strange thing to say,<br />
but over the years I have come to realize that he was sharing the wisdom of the ages<br />
with me. As time passes and our lives change, we often forget to appreciate each stage<br />
of life. Too frequently we are busy living in the future, and the present passes us by.<br />
Congratulations, Class of 20<strong>06</strong>! I appreciate having been with you during this part of<br />
your life, and hope to be a part of your happy future.<br />
