One person who did remember Mr. Obama was Michael L. Baron, who taught a senior seminar on international politics and American policy. Mr. Baron, now president of an electronics company in Florida, said he was Mr. Obama’s adviser on the senior thesis for that course. Mr. Baron, who later wrote Mr. Obama a recommendation for Harvard Law School, gave him an A in the course.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Do they give those? Seriously? Maybe it's the born agains that do that?
No, I'm a "born again", as you call it, and I have been baptized and I never received a certificate. We figure God already knows and we don't have anyone else we need to impress.
Seems a little strange. Usually, even though your photograph doesn't appear in the yearbook. your name will be listed. Also the comittee responsible for reunions will have a list of alumni that they send out invitations to. Some schools, colleges, and Universities have online sites where you can contact classmates. You have to be a member in order to do so. I don't know if this applies to all schools, but this is how they do it at my daughters University, which is Pepperdine U, in Malibu, CA. Of course she didn't go to Harvard, or Columbia, which are older, more prestigious Universities--although Pepperdine does have an "ivy league" rateing now.lol My Mother in law, who attended Baylor U in TX, many yrs ago, still remembers many of her classmates, and keeps in contact with several. I would think that at any school, a few people are going to remember you, from some class. Oh well, I suppose it's unimportant, just a little odd.

My college lost track of me after about 3 years. I found myself for them, when I became internet savvy, about 30 years later.
I see nothing "odd" about Obama not being in the yearbook, nor do I care if he ever went to a class reunion. I never have attended one from college.
Haven't you noticed; Obama has NO ONE who can vouch for him, his character, his past, no one.
Well, I should say, none that it would be wise to bring forth like, wright, pfleger, rezko, Ayers.
Isn't it odd though - he has no long-time friends that have come forward to tell us was a great guy he is. No one from school, at Columbia or Harvard.
Very odd.
