It was the day of the baccalaureate but first the reunioners had to rise which Amv
Sarah
Suzanne
and Rik did
before Amv's coffee brought her to life
as Jane
and Julia appeared
and artistic photos of coffee cups were taken
before I had my morning bagel
which seemed to wake up Eve
and Ed.
As I left, the onions were cooking
so I took this self portrait
and checked out the food I wouldn't be eating.
Once at the Baccalaureate, I ran into Jeff Nunokawa and Sarah Anderson
Y S Chi
and Nilu Shroff
and watched Pete McDonough put on his robe
so that he could pose
and then caught Pete with Janet Clarke.
Ellen Chances was there
and then Ellen Harvey posed with Brady Walkinshaw
and Mark Siegler, Ellen Harvey and Brady Walkinshaw posed together
before I saw Vance Smith
Trudy Schupbach and Eric Wieschaus
Kim Ritrievi and Mark Burstein
and Sanj Kulkarni.
Back at home Robert Accordino posed with Sarah
as Ed watched
and Amv posed for a picture before leaving
and before he left, Robert took this fine family portrait.
Robert was nice enough to contribute these pictures to my archive involving Tim Prugar '06, Lilly Dash '08, John Jacobson '06, Matt DeNichilo '06, Matt Klitus '06
Joanna Krzewinkski '06 and Greg Nice
Alyson Zureick '06 and Ed Davisson '06
Laura Haas '06, Sarah Dobkin '06, Betsy Haas '76, Buddy Haas '76, Suzanne Gespass and Jamie Davidson '06

Next it was graduation day but I needed to work all of the juice out of my battery, so I took pictures of the car pulling out of the driveway as Suzanne took Jane to usher
and then of Ben eating breakfast
not to mention the peanut butter and Nutella jars
the assembly of Ben's lunch
and the remains of Jeff's imports from Hawaii for the shower
all of which brought the clock to near Ben departure time
as we admired the flowers from reunions
Jane's rain boots
Ben's shoes
and Suzanne's hand
while Ben read
and the hula dancers danced
and the clock marked time
on the deck
and in the back yard
even as moss fell on the deck
and Suzanne went to get the papers
and brought them back

Next we walked in to work, stopping to vote on the way, and ran into Steven Healy.
At the appointed hour, we went to the west door of Nassau Hall and gathered with Lauren Robinson-Brown and Cliff Moore
who took this picture of Suzanne and me
before the car pulled up and Loni Ali emerged and greeted me
and then she greeted Suzanne.
Next, Muhammad Ali emerged from the car
and shook my hand
and then came into Nassau Hall
and down the hall
before settling in a chair in my office.
I posed with Muhammad Ali
and then Suzanne and I posed with Muhammad Ali
before the camera focussed in on me and Ali
and then Lauren and Cliff posed with him
and Lauren, Cliff and Eric Hamblin posed with Ali
before Suzanne posed with Loni
and Terdema Ussery arrived and chatted with Loni
before Kenny Samuels posed with Ali
and shook his hand
and then Terdema posed
and as people chatted in the office
Bob Durkee arrived and joined the assembled
and then Steven Healy posed with Ali
as did Bob Durkee
and Emery Whalen '09
before I left Ali
and went to join the crowd where I ran into Bob Murley and his daughter Megan
and Paul Raushenbush
and the outstanding teachers Peggy Stewart, Raymond Page, Nina Lavlinskaia and Bruce Grefe with John Webb
Outside, Sanj Kulkarni and Doug Clark were getting the parade ready
and so the marchers passed.
After the event, I recorded Ken Norman and his wife
and Eric Gregory
and that afternoon, Jane took this picture of Lucy.
Mary Baum was nice enough to give me this picture of herself and Toni Turano
and Kya Hertz gave me these two of herself with Muhammad Ali and Bruce Grefe
