Re: graduation speech

[Kristel Mayberry <kmayber@OPS.ORG>]

last year there was a big spoof on an MIT graduation speech by kurt
vonnegut. I searched the archives and found all the replies talking about
the spoof i.e.:

And it was great. Trouble is, it wasn't Vonnegut's. "Kurt
Vonnegut Jr. had never given a commencement address at
MIT," said Robert Sales, associate director of the school's
news office.

It turns out the "speech" was actually a column penned by
the Chicago Tribune's Mary Schmich. The column ran on 1
June - five days before UN Secretary General Kofi Annan
delivered the actual commencement address at MIT. That
speech "was a lot longer and maybe not as clever" as the
purported Vonnegut address, Sales said.

My question is: did anyone say a copy of the speech? If so, please forward
me a copy of it. Thanks!
