To the editor:
Many high school graduates agreed Rush Limbaugh's commencement address was indeed one of the most inspiring ever delivered. It was honest and substantial food for thought. Students appreciated his advice to keep moving. Higher grounds are here for them to reach.
One student I had the opportunity to talk with replied by saying Rush Limbaugh instilled in us the desire to reach out to the talent each one is endowed with. He gave us the confidence we needed in moving on.
Another expressed his desire to become a television reporter or writer. Rush Limbaugh warmly approached the students, urging each one to think positively.
Since Central High School was his alma mater, he will always feel a warmth toward it and an appreciation for giving him a fine start in life.
Although Rush Limbaugh has addressed the high school students before, his delivery on this occasion seemed to have made the greatest impact among the students.
