I used to love hanging out on these boards during my free time but I haven't had a whole lot of that these last few years. This is however, my new autograoh project. Texas A&M School of Law December 2016 graduating class. I've laughed, cried, and everything in between with these people for the last 3.5 years. Law school is usually a 3 yr program but it has taken us 3.5 years because 80% of us have full time jobs as well. I still need to get 9 more students and a lot more of my professors, but it will give me something to do instead of stressing over finals the next two weeks. Graduation in 12 days and they've elected me to give the commencement address so a bit nervous about that too! Once I graduate, I'll still be busy for a couple months of bar exam prep, but I should be back to having a life again after February ;)

    It is obvious Law students have better penmanship than athletes. Congratulations on getting a tough degree while holding down a full time job.

    Cool piece Mike.

    Congrats on finishing up law school and good luck with the bar prep. That will probably be harder then anything you ever do as a lawyer. Hardest thing I ever did it's like a war.

    Good luck

    Mike ... what a great idea. I can't believe it's been 4 years since you were asking me questions about Law School. So happy for you my friend. Give 'em hell during your Commencement Talk!

    STAY HEALTHY!

    Congratulations!
    What stuns me is that so many people no longer write in cursive handwriting.

    Thanks guys. On the printed sigs, many of them told me that I wouldn't be able to read or identify their "normal" sig so would I prefer them to print and I said sure. Ztarg, Mrs. Rackley is a good looking, classy lady. Doug, I think part of the reason they chose me for speaker is they don't ever know what the heck is going to come out of my mouth ;) Baseballfan, yep, I hear bar prep is pretty intense but I plan on giving it a good run as I want to be one and done. BUT, if it beats me first go around, I'll regroup and give it hell next time.

    Mike ... I know how dedicated you are in Law School and how hard you worked to assure getting good grades. If you put in the same dedication and drive while studying for the Bar Exam you WILL be ONE and DONE! GOOD LUCK my friend.

    STAY HEALTHY!

    Still have a couple sigs to go on ball. 2 students didn't come to graduation so I missed them. The "complete" freak in me will be driven up the wall if I don't get them lol

    Nice job. You weren't kidding when you said Texas drawl. How did that go over in South Bend?

    Good luck with the bar exam. I guess you still won't be able to get back into your collectibles full force yet.

    btw, I was curious what the age range was for your graduating class??

    At Notre Dame, my roommate was from Boston, so we'd have to take an interpreter any time we'd go out together in town lol. It only got me in trouble one time and that's when I asked a lady for "ice" and she thought I wanted "as_" ;)

    Our graduating class ranged from probably 24 year olds to a lady that I think is in her late fifties. I'd say that most of them were probably late 20's to early 30's, although there were a few of us old geezers like me (46), another lady right around my age, and the lady mentioned above.
