Tom Brokaw, Explained just how personal his connection was to the Bay Area.

Some of you may know that one of our daughters went to Berkeley and a daughter who is here tonight went to Stanford. They were there simultaneously, which prompted me to remark, It was like having one who was a member of the Grateful Dead and the other one who was a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Mickey Hart liked that and so did Berkeley, but Stanford wasn’t too happy, and I think that they doubled my tuition.
