Howard cancelled grad ceremony

[BOP]

My HS graduation was supposed to be on the football field with guest in the bleachers. Lots and lots of room. Limited to 6 guests, unless it rained and we had to hold graduation in the gym, and then it was 2 guests. It rained. We dealt with it. This was back in '72, so nothing new here.

Oh, wait, I'm that old as well.

Here, he talks about it at around the 9:58 or so mark:

'72. The Civil War had been over for only a few years. Must have been interesting times.
