First Or Last?
Asking — and answering — life's interesting questions

Well, with my name – Zemke – I know a lot about being last. I graduated from undergrad in December of 1976. Of over 400 graduates, I walked the stage last. I generally don’t like the last place, but that day, the whole crowd clapped when I was shaking the University President’s hand. 🙂
First on subway car, for sure!
First, then I can get it out of the way
I grew up having an older brother who went first. I’d rather sit back and have someone else lead. He was an exceptional student, and so teachers sort of gave me a pass – they thought I was like him. He just had a birthday and I sent him a card thanking him for breaking a trail for me when we were kids.
