I wanted to bring out from the people around the table insights on how they handled unexpected incidents of the past.

Every time I'd go down there to close up, everybody thanked me.

I was surprised and tremendously honored to be asked. My Yale experience really meant so much to me and my life and the way my life turned out that I thought it would be a huge thrill to then be able to contribute to the University and its future as a member of the Corporation.
