Mark Zuckerberg Delivers Harvard Commencement Address
Posted by: thepinetree on 05/26/2017 10:01 AM
Cambridge, MA...The following it the full text of his speech. "President Faust, Board of Overseers, faculty, alumni, friends, proud parents, members of the ad board, and graduates of the greatest university in the world, I'm honored to be with you today because, let's face it, you accomplished something I never could. If I get through this speech, it'll be the first time I actually finish something at Harvard. Class of 2017, congratulations! I'm an unlikely speaker, not just because I dropped out, but because we're technically in the same generation. We walked this yard less than a decade apart, studied the same ideas and slept through the same Ec10 lectures. We may have taken different paths to get here, especially if you came all the way from the Quad, but today I want to share what I've learned about our generation and the world we're building together.

San Andreas, CA...From Calaveras County Librarian, Nancy Giddens. "Every successful venture has people who make it a success. Over the 50 years we celebrate this year, many people have worked hard to make the Arnold Branch Library a success. Although I have served as Calaveras County Librarian for just a year, it quickly became clear to me that the current success of the Arnold Branch Library is due primarily to the vision, passion and commitment of Fran Devlin, the Branch Assistant who has served that branch since 2008. Fran works tirelessly to serve the community of Arnold. Bonnie Doiel who serves on Fridays and Saturdays also gives great energy and enthusiasm to the branch. Both work with and through the community and the Arnold Friends of the Library group. Without them this branch would not be what it is today. Thank you Fran and Bonnie."
