“Welcome Class of 2020”. That is the sign at the entrance to St. John’s University this week. Classes start on Monday. It is hard to fathom “2020”. When I started working here on the third floor of Wimmer Hall, the sign read “Welcome Class of 2003”. Where does time go. Being on a campus every day is a good way to stay young. They are all so full of life. The parents are so proud.

When I arrived at The U of M campus in the fall of 1961, I was overwhelmed. I still remember trying to find my way from one huge building to another. My dad had arranged for me to work at the Campus Bookstore. I can still picture my bosses, Ken and Bob. Bob had really poor eyesight and he had to hold the books very, very close to his super thick glasses, but he got the job done. I did not do well. The worst was English Composition. Every Friday I would turn in one of the blue comp booklets and every Monday I would pick it up and cringe at the “D” or the “F” that the professor had scrawled on the cover. I should have kept a couple.
