Robert Krulwich 1994: Why Am I Here? Written March 24, 2022   In 2019, during Oberlin College's Commencement ceremony, radio and television journalist Robert Krulwich was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree.  Robert and I, both alumni of student radio station WOBC, were among those returning to campus to celebrate the 50th reunion of our Class of 1969. Robert was not given an opportunity to say a few words during the ceremony.  In fact, just before giving him his honorary degree, they tried to gag him with the hood. A quarter century before, in 1994, I missed the 25th reunion.  However, the College later offered audio cassettes of some of the events.  I listened to mine, then put them into storage for a couple of decades. Listening once again to those cassettes prior to the 50th reunion, I rediscovered that Mr. Krulwich had been the speaker for the Class Dinner on Sunday evening. I've uploaded more than half an hour from his entertaining talk, divided into a dozen MP3 segments.     This undated photo from the Sixties has been tagged with the names of: Bernie Arons John Field Robert Goertz Robert Krulwich Tom Witheridge   John Field's introduction. I did meet the FBI. I want to thank those who've contributed events to this reunion. I knew many memorable people here at Oberlin. Some left me in awe. However, I lack political passion. After college, there were new/old friends, and drugs. I served as a Trustee, but then Oberlin became irrelevant. After 25 years, what do we share? Our age, and this place. Our struggles have actually been welcome. Our experiences have been precious. Conclusion: Please give Oberlin $3, or more.
