Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Invitation to Join Us at Harvard University

nothing makes the feeling of the community/communications/commonalities of the listserv seem quite so real and warm as this enormously generous invitation by our wonderfully talented okey. i only wish i were able to come; ironically i will be en route to pennsylvania to celebrate my daughter's wedding, but i will certainly remember the iheduru family as we toast her nuptials
thanks okey

Dear USA-Africa Dialogue Friends:

My wife (Prisca) and I would like to invite members of this listserv who live or would be in and/or around Cambridge/Boston, MA area on Thursday, May 28th, 2015 to join the Iheduru Family at a reception to honor and celebrate our daughter, Akunna on her graduation with a Bachelor's degree (A.B.) in Organismic and Evolutionary Biology from Harvard University.

The reception will take place from 5-7 p.m., following the commencement ceremonies scheduled to end around 4:00 p.m.

Please RSVP me at okeyiheduru@gmail.com for additional information, should your schedule permit your joining us. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THE LISTSERV!!!

I realize this may be an unusual post, but I crave your indulgence to allow me this indiscretion--just the one time. My family has a lot to celebrate about this young woman--particularly for being an inspiration to her brother and two sisters. She had been accepted by all the Ivy Leagues except "stupid" Yale, but she chose to impoverish us by attending Harvard University. So, bring along your sons and daughters, too.

Regards,

Okey
