Business leaders, students and parents gathered on Feb. 6 at La Jolla Country Day School for a speech by former Massachusetts governor and 1988 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Dukakis.
The gathering was sponsored by the City Club of San Diego and hosted by La Jolla Country Day's Upper School History Chair Jonathan Shulman, who used the visit and speech as a teaching moment for his government students. The students asked questions during the public portion of the event and shared some moments with Governor Dukakis and his wife, Kitty, at a private luncheon following the event.
Dukakis, who splits his time these days teaching at Northeastern University in Boston and UCLA, was in town for what was billed as the Annual Michael S. Dukakis City Club of San Diego State of the Nation Address. This year's topic was entitled: "When Did 60 Percent Become the New Majority?"
