I moved to Chicago in 1980 to go to college.

After graduating in the summer of 1980, I knew I wanted my life to count.

I graduated from the University of Whatever.

For my undergraduate work, I went to Oklahoma State University and graduated from there in 1977.

I really did graduate at 14, and I go to college in the Los Angeles area near where I live.

I went to college for four years.

I started graduate school in 1971, I started working at the Smithsonian in the festival in 1972. I went full-time at the Smithsonian in 1974. And I got my doctorate in 1975.

I got my degree in culinary arts in 1978.

I graduated in 2009, which - if you think back to where the economy was at that time - was an interesting time to graduate.
