Yeah. But there are still a lot of questions to be asked. Did you find yourself in the cortex of your psychology text? Did enough people deepen whatever your faith is? Is GW a shoppers mart where one spends four years selecting an image? Were the non-comformists of our generation (1973) in pressed sport shirts and fraternities? Can you remember when you knew what communism was? Did the 61 percent president and his 61 percent wife ever see you messing around on the ellipse at 2 a.m. ? Oscar Wilde, class of ’77, wrote “Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them.” GW raised a lot of us some, some of us a lot. Will nostalgia sneak into our fashionably cynical hearts? How long will it be before GW takes on more in memories than it ever was in “reality”? Perhaps the Law of Nostalgia is that the past, with its difficulties, becomes more alluring as it recedes. ..because we survived. Tabor
