Lest We Forget.....


It was 44 years ago this weekend that man first landed on Moon.

As someone just a few weeks away from beginning college at that time, I can remember how in awe I was watching and listening to the landing and that first Walk on the Moon. Life seemed so full of adventure, promise and great hope.

Here's a look back......

While manned space exploration has all but ended for our country these days, what we all experienced in our years together at Vanderbilt four decades ago still helps me remember when all worlds seemed possible to conquer, all challenges capable of being surmounted. Yes, we've gotten older and wiser. We've learned our limitations and had our disappointments. But as the song goes: "Those Were The Days, My Friend"....we thought they'd never end...

So come back for a special weekend 40 years later, October 3-5, and we can celebrate our time together one more time. Register today at:
