To my vast astonishment, the University of St. Andrews in Fife, Scotland, has just announced a desire to offer me an honorary degree, Doctor of Letters, in June 2009. I sure hope nothing goes wrong!
Congratulations!!

I look forward to hearing about why StA chose SRD for this honor. (Not that I don't think there's a good reason, more like wondering which good reason is it.)

The confirment will take place as part of the University's graduation ceremonies on June 25, 2009, at 10:30am in Younger Hall. I'm delighted.

With longer hair and a few more years on him, SRD would make a great Dumbledore. ;)

I think the Doctor of Letters meant to say 'conferment'. :lol:
