University Of Iowa – Class of 1974- Graduation 50th Anniversary

Event

It has been 5O years ago since I graduated from The Univ Of Iowa in May of 1974. My days at school in Iowa City were grand. One might sing “Glory Days” by Bruce Springsteen.

Yes, this all may seem frivolous. However, I want to commemorate my graduation from The University of Of Iowa on May 18, 1974… Fifty Years Ago. “Glory days, they will pass you by in the wink of an eye” as the song says.

I hope this brings you a smile. Thank you for reading and listening.

Go Hawks!

This audio piece was fun to produce. My days at Iowa were in fact my “glory days“. I hope you enjoy and are not bored.

  11. Outstanding musical selections! As I’m from that vintage as well, it was a lovely visit to those old musical glory days. Thanks for sharing the pics of what looks like a lovely campus. Love the ‘last in sports, first in GPA’ description. 😊
