The @USGFoundation Gala raised funds last night for scholarships. Thanks to all the donors! Students, like my friend Bridget Dixon here, are a good investment! Mary and I also thank former Chancellor Steve Wrigley and Lynne and @GovKemp and Marty for supporting the cause! @BORUSG

We've been walking hand-in-hand for 50 years! Today holds many celebrations, but none more important than my 50th wedding anniversary. As I said in my speech, Mary, you're the person I've always hoped to become. I am beyond blessed! #50thanniversayjoy #truelove
