The Fly
I sent the following to University of North Dakota officials this morning:
With all of the press North Dakota is getting by the legislature rejecting a bill honoring Bono of U2 for his advocacy of debt relief for Third World countries (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dy...7021600167.html), this would be a great opportunity to capitalize by trying to get him to be the commencement speaker at UND this spring. This would not be easy as he is one of the most sought after speakers in the world.
By the way; I have a vested interest in this as a former North Dakotan and alumni of UND. I consider U2 to be the greatest band in the world and my eldest daughter, Marie Kyle, who is also a huge U2 fan, is graduating from UND this spring.
The simple act of getting Bono to speak at UND would generate more national/international press than the university has generated since its founding.
Thanks for considering but you must act quick.
Sincerely,
Curt Murdy
