Default I am very conflicted!

There's the show your college colors tonight at the Lake Sumter Landing Square but I cannot figure out what to wear . I have two BAs from the University of Nevada, Reno and do have a Nevada shirt of some kind. Went to BYU for about ten days to their law school but was a non Mormon rooming with a recent convert who seemed to be making me his next project. So, I left after about ten days in 1982. I don't have any BYU clothes. Decided to get an MA in Librarianship and got it from the University of Denver in 1984. May have some University of Denver clothes somewhere or other.

I took night courses in Spanish at the College of San Mateo around 1985. Trying to beef up my resume. I was working for Information Access Company at the time during the day.

Then left California for Minnesota where I got a law degree from the University of Minnesota in 1989 and worked in their law library while taking courses in German, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese, and Russian . Just dappling.

I would probably need a shirt of many colors.

Ha you would be in the same category as our 3 kids never same colleges. Bachelor, Masters, Doctoral, Med School, none at the same institution. We get 16 different colleges sending us “send us money” twice a year. Adding in 11 institutions we played at fundraisers golf.

Pick the color that looks best on you.

I just got something from the U of Minnesota Law School asking for money . Let's just say it did not make it home with me . I have given them money though when they call with some law student on the line. They have often chuckled at the amounts $6.13 or $12.24 I sometimes commit to give them but I usually specify law clinics only .

We all went to multiple colleges for various degrees, and our kids went to even more. I think the usual is to just go with the school from which you yourself first graduated with an undergraduate degree.

I did not see any U of Nevada, Reno; nor U of Denver, nor, U of Minnesota booths there yesterday.

I have met a few U of Minnesota graduates here in the Villages and one U of Denver graduate. She graduated in Social Work with a MA. Worked in prisons if memory serves.

Whatever you decided to wear here is my suggestion: Enlarge your " Silver Membership " Logo and Paste it On What You Are Wearing. Walk & Feel " Proud " .

Thanks. I have met some people who have asked I was Taltarzac725 and I recall her telling me when she was working in a school in Minneapolis she managed to just avoid a tornado that tore through there. Tornado outbreak of May 5–8, 1965 - Wikipedia


This talk with her was probably around 2013.
