Dear Dr. Holly, I add my voice to all the accompanying hosts and guests: it was a privilege to be with you and to reflect on the inspiring example that you set for all of us. We are deeply grateful for all your many forms of support: the boundless moral and spiritual support that you uniquely share, and also the magnificently generous financial support, for many years! With great respect, Ruth

This is my May, 2016 Commencement address to my undergraduate university. The two sections "make a life," and "pay your debt," are relevant to our dinner last night.
Your Life Your Health - Northwestern State University Commencement Address 2016
I do not have the words to express what last night meant to me and to Carolyn. I thank each of you and all of you for this great gift.
As I approach my 74th birthday, I am filled with gratitude. When I was Alumni President of the School of Medicine, I envisioned the alumni giving 10 million dollars over ten years to the school. This morning I awoke with the dream, "what if...". Could it be? I would never have. imagine last night. Why not a bigger dream?
Sincerely and gratefully,
Larry and Carolyn
