Oh, thank you! I went to Smith, and was WISHING I could be there to hear her. How wonderful that there is such a thing as a Pulitzer Prize-winning kindergarten teacher! I hadn't thought to look up her speech, so thanks for the link. (By the way, the year I graduated, it was John Kenneth Galbraith. He was dull, dull, dull, and at one point said something about how we would probably just end up getting married.)
Thanks, she really is all that. "Stop, drop and roll!" Tee hee.
