Fight On

It seems like it has been a long road but it has only been 21 months & they have gone by quickly (for me at least... maybe because we gave birth to 2 sons in that time :-) Rick all your hard work has finally paid off & you are now a graduate of the USC MBA program. I probably could only be more proud of you if I were your mom who I'm very glad got to see you graduate in person. I wish your dad had been here too but I know he wished you well from Vermont. Your mom, my dad & I sat in our seats waiting anxiously for you all to parade in to the Galen Center. We sat there trying to pick you out of the crowd of 300+ graduates & we found you sitting with your buddy Miles. After listening to many speakers & watching all of you get your diplomas we were all surprised when the USC band came marching in playing the USC fight song (Fight On For Ole SC). It was really very cool & such a nice way to end the road to higher education.
I am so proud of you & wish we could have thrown you a big party which is what you deserved but I hope you know that I love you, I'm glad to have you back & can't wait to see what new opportunities become available to you. And no matter what I hope that you & all your fellow graduates realize that at least now you are prepared for whatever business opportunities come your way. Congratulations & Fight On!

Yea! He's done! Congratulations to you both, since I know that Rick couldn't have done it without you.

Congratulations, Rick! Maybe I should have walked when I got my MBA (from San Jose State)--that looks like fun!
