For an academic parent there surely cannot be a grander occasion than to see one of your children be awarded his PhD. To the University of Liverpool, then, and the somewhat faded ART Deco splendour of the Philharmonic Hall. It was a wonderful day that could not be marred even by the Vice Chancellor's woeful speech. My son's thesis has the best opening line I have ever read, and his research must be at least ten times better than my own modest efforts almost 40 years ago, so who says standards are falling everywhere?
Congratulations to him (and you)! So, what was that opening line then?
Hi Bill,
congratulations to both of you........ and the famous line ?
