I read an article in the NYTimes about Michael Bloomberg's latest gift to Johns Hopkins University, of $350,000,000. In total, he has given $1.1 billion to Johns Hopkins over the past 40 years.
While Audrey was at JHU, Mr. Bloomberg was on campus numerous times, walking about, looking at projects. He was the keynote speaker at her graduation in May 2003. Neither Papa or I will forget it. It was a rainy afternoon, with everyone given a rain poncho as we entered the stadium. It was a happy day for most. Mr. Bloomberg spoke of coming to JHU as a mediocre student and leaving a very different person. He was smart and worked hard. Clearly he has been successful. His generosity is overwhelming and inspiring.
