It wasn't quite time for the orgy of graduation and reunions but we did take time to welcome Ryan Hays to our office
A few days later the onslaught began when Amv Widdowson and Ben Mains appeared at our door
to join Eve Glazer who was already there
and Tarryn Chin and Allie Squires who would arrive soon thereafter bearing gifts.
We walked into town and met Hilary and Frank Moss
but somehow I was unable to pose with them and get a decent picture.
After one event, we went to the class of 69 reception where we caught Seva and Sarah
and then Suzanne and I joined Sarah and Seva for a photo
before Suzanne posed with Laura Spence-Ash
and we recorded Nate Ash who had grown over time.
Next we met up with David and Geri Weinberger
and Raj Vinnakota
before heading to MacLean house where Morgan Pecora-Saipe helped us get our wristbands.
The next day was the P-Rade and so people were getting ready to march. Amv, Ed and Ben left to begin
and when we got there we met Nicki Chandris
and then Sarah, Jane and Morgan posed
before Kim Ritrevi passed by with her class
and Will Fisher appeared
and posed with Patrick Daurio and Rachel Bolton
as the stilt walkers passed us by
to be followed by Clancy Rowley.
Jane and Suzanne posed
even as Clancy passed by
and then I caught a sequence of pictures of Jane, Sarah and Suzanne

and we recorded the girl with the dress that matched Sarah's
and then Ilana Lucas and Dan Candeto
and Ilana posed her wonderful orange and black socks
before we met Jane's friend Brandon Lowden who posed with her
and then showed me his badge.
After a conversation with Eric Schmidt
the class of 2004 arrived with posters showing their desires
as we watched with Zach Balin
until the class had passed
making way for the class of 2005
and we then saw Sarah, Peter Landwehr and Ed
before the class of 2007 arrived
and blocked my first
but not my second attempt to get a picture of Don Dixon.
Joe Zipkin, Jim Williamson and Amelia Runyon posed as part of the class of 2007
before the class of 2008 passed
making room for the class of 2009
led by the PU marching band
and after a picture of George and Sandie Bermann
we made our way up the hill of abandoned rubbish
to home where we recorded a sign of a missing special needs dog (what is the world coming to???).
When night came, we headed back to watch some fireworks

and then Mary Baum posed with me, Sarah and Suzanne
before we took this picture of John and Mary Baum.
On our way through the 25th reunion, we ran into Paul Tucker and David Laur.
The next day was the transition from reunions towards graduation. Robert Accordino (RA RA) arose
with pastries
pop'ems
and bagels
which were nicely distributed
along with a variety of juices
as Robert, Ben, Ed and Sarah visited
and Suzanne was in the kitchen
before posing with Srulik Wojnowich
as Ben looked for a place to go
while I switched camera batteries and put the old one in the charger
even as food was served
and Allie and Scott Elmegreen '07 said good bye
before Laura Haas arrived and posed with Amv
as the annual viewing of the Princeton video got to the section about Nancy Malkiel
and Amv and Ben posed so that Ben could check out for his trip to NYC.
The discussion around the table continued from all sides

and the gang slowly gathered
for their annual picture

After the photo, I got into my robes and headed to Nassau Hall where Steve Oxman, Bill Russel and Jim Williamson posed
as did Kathy Rohrer.
Back at home, Alex Dahlen was visiting
as I tried on Jane's batting helmet
and then Kaylen appeared and she and Jane went off to see UP
but I was content to take pictures of the lost dog signs which somehow didn't seem correct.
The next day was taken up with serious activities until the honorary degrees dinner where Jeff posed with Meryl Streep
as did I
and then Alice Waters posed alone
and then we posed together.
Finally we were at graduation day and on our way to the hotel, we ran into Denise Applewhite, Ruth Stevens and John Jameson on their way to record the event.
There followed the obligatory pictures of Alice Waters with Jeff Nunokawa
Suzanne
Sanj Kulkarni
Sharad Malik
and with Varun Mehra (her assistant) and Jane
as Ruby Dee was entering the building
and Michael Cadden was coming in with Meryl Streep.
Next Meryl Streep and Irv Glassman approached
and posed
and then Jane
and Sanj Kulkarni and Sandie Bermann posed with Meryl Streep.
I then caught Toni Turano in gown
and Lianne Sullivan-Crowley posed with Jeff Nunokawa
before I captured Jose Huizar
and posed with him
and then saw Sir Gordon Wu without
and with hat.
Frank Moss posed
as did Matt Margolin and Eric Schmidt
and then Peter Wendell and Eric Schmidt
and Matt Margolin and Megahan Petersack
before we headed out and saw Paul Muldoon.
Steven Healy, Deborah Blanks and Donald Reichling were nice enough to pose and then the parade began.
After lunch, I captured this picture of Stu Orefice and Shana Weber
a final picture of Varun Mehra
and this picture of Edwin before it was time to call it a year and head off to Iceland.
