The graduation was absolutely beautiful. The weather was perfect. I actually got a little sunburned around the neck while we sat through the two and one half hour ceremony. Yes, two and one half hours. There were over 600 graduates so that is not surprising. I got some really good picture of Barb and of general scenes of the ceremony. Even the wonderful piper who led the graduates and all the dignitaries in playing all the time. He was young and quite good looking to go along with his talent. There is nothing as impressive as a good piper.

Barb looked wonderful and we were all so glad to be there for her. Her parents, Don and Marlies Burdine, her son Timothy, her brother Fred and Dick and myself. She has worked very hard and can be so proud of her accomplishment.

Enjoy the coming week.
