Seldom have we got such type of opportunities to celebrate some special moments with our friends and relatives. I have gone through the link of your speech and I think you have some prior experience of writing speeches because the way of representation is of good standard. Keep it up….

It has become a mainstay in my ongoing sense of connection to Wesleyan (along with Wesleyan Magazine). I was unable to attend home coming weekend because of health problems, so I missed the live version of your inaugural address. It was great to have a convenient internet link to it. I was so impressed with the content that I have printed it out; intending to send it to a grandson who is currently attending the University of Michigan. Unfortunately, I did not succeed in getting him to apply to Wesleyan. Maybe he will see what he's missing! Norm Stuessy, '54 Dear President Roth,

My only regret (and it's a big one) was my inability to attend the dedication in honor of Dean Beckham. I was in Boston (so close) at another conference that was likewise dedicated to black men. So, thank you for taking me inside there with you. --Ron Medley, `73 Dear President Roth,

You seem to be expecially accessible to students and I felt you were really down to earth and and able to relate to the parents at their level as well. I appreciate the blog and your willingness to communicate so openly with everyone at all levels. Enjoy your return to Wesleyan and keep on blogging. Your passion is palpable.
