Susan Patton ’77 may find something to consider in the following paradox: My wife of 26 years went to Berkeley, but she has never failed to interest me every day of my life with her.
Yours sincerely,

The University of California, Berkeley is indeed noted for being an inferior institution suited only for ignorant poors, Mr. Frederic M. Smith. Needless to say, I am shocked by the knowledge that a Princeton man such as yourself would debase himself by marrying a loathsome commoner, whose education at Berkeley, however sorry it must have been, can only have helped her rise above her parents’ lowly status. I fear your example, lest we shall one day hear of Princeton men who bring shame upon themselves by advancing their academic careers at such a piddling place. What a wretched education traitor that man would be!
And his daughter went to UCSB and has done anything but bore him. 🙂 Very sweet, Dad.
Ha ha ha!
Very concise and very sweet.
