I wonder who the agents and executives were that first handled the logistics for this show. I am sure that they had no idea that they would be benefiting their network five decades later, but clearly they are.
The timing seemed ironic to me as today is our Homecoming, where we are honoring the golden reunion class of 1962. Over five decades ago some admissions counselor recruited those students, a faculty member taught them and countless others made an impact on their lives. I am sure those staff members did not think of the benefits these alums would be having on the institution half a century later, but they are. One alumnae announced a $1 million gift this weekend, and who knows what other influences class members have made throughout their time since graduation.
We never know the meaning of our work or our time with others. Whether it is playing a role in orchestrating one of the most successful shows of all time, or shaping a young co-ed's future, or even offering a simple gesture of kindness at a pivotal moment, we are making more of a difference than we know. All of us are leaving a legacy. Try today to make it a golden one.
