That one might be tough in the middle of the MLB season. They are at Chicago that day, so a flight might be do-able, though.

Jerry Jr talked about the lack of an announcement of the commencement speaker in convo today. They are workin hard to get somebody the students will really like (although good luck topping Chuck Norris last year), and they are hoping to reach the endgame phase and decide on a speaker and he said that as soon as they know he will annouince it.
