I have the honor of being an alumna of a school from which he held an honorary doctorate of divinity. He was the Commencement speaker in 1987, the year before I graduated, and needless to say he was amazing.

Wow!

That is so cool. Thank you for sharing.

Oberlin (my alma mater) has a lot of cool alums. I can't decide between Tutu and William Goldman as to who's the coolest.

I know it gets overused, but he really was an extraordinary man.
