5. I was fortunate in the fact that I associated with some of the students at my college alma mater

until I was 35 years old. After I moved from the Austin area I still had young friends for another 10 years. I don't have much interaction with young people these days and I miss both the serious discussions and the fun times that I spend with our youth. I did make it to my college Homecoming last year and it was great discussing politics in the Commons with some interesting students. I am also fortunate that most of the students are kind to the alums asking us what it was like when we were students and grateful for the financial contributions we made so that the university has state-of-the-art facilities that were constructed over the last three decades.
