-: I went to school in 1977.
Never had been away from home or my family, ever.
And when my parents drove off,
that was the loneliest feeling of my life.
I learned to grow up.
I think going away to a school was a really important
development point for me.
I made some really good friends at Oswego.
I was lucky
to drop into a really good accounting program.
I had some very good professors,
who I still keep in touch with.
And I also studied German there as well,
and I think it's very fortunate, because
the German department was outstanding at that time.
And so I was really luck to have very, very good teachers.
That's probably my number one view of the school,
is that we had teachers who really cared
about the performance of the student,
and really made an effort for the students to learn.
