Events were leading up to reunions and Jane's graduation but first I met with ACE Fellows Daniel Ragsdale (West Point) and Renee Barnett (UCSD).

Next, Van Williams '65 came to visit before the reunions crowd started to assemble with Eve's arrival at our house.

Reunions being in full swing, we made our way from our walk to Panera where I posed with Pierre DuPont '83 and we then made our way past the flower lady who sold us bad flowers to Jeff's house where we saw P. G. Sittenfeld who decide to friend Suzanne after posing with Jeff.

After I made my way to work, I met with Matt Clark '85 and then headed off to campus activities where I ran into Keith Lesnik and this fellow who was playing his ukelele in the battle of the bands. On the way to the stadium, we ran into Morgan, her mother and dog and on the way back home, we ran into Abe Meisel walking barefoot and once home, we greeted Rik Aspinall ('06) and Julia Stefanczyk ('06) who were here for reunions.

It was the day of the P-Rade and so Eve, Jon, Jamie, Sarah, Rik and Suzanne posed in suitable orange as I also recorded the flowers bananas and plants before Jon, Sarah and Jamie returned from Joe Canal's so that they were stocked and we could make our way to arrive in the middle of the class of 1985 with the Old Guard soon to appear

led by the class of 1925 and the man with the silver cane which you get if you are 104 and there is no one older here. Next came the classes of 1930 1934 1935 for their 75th reunion

even as class of 2000 beachballs were a big hit and suddenly 2009 was upon us

where Sandie Bermann had a special interest but it wasn't in the tiger who appeared but rather in the procession from which 2010 emerged

until we made our way to the fields and I had a somewhat unusual conversation with this gentlemen whose name might be Ian and who might belong to the class of 2012 after which Suzanne found Jane and Jane, Eric Domb, and Morgan posed only to be joined by Charlie '09 and then Emily and Jayne Choi '10 posed followed by Charlie, Jane, Eric and Morgan who then were joined by Emily and Jayne before Jane, Patrick Daurio, Jayne Choi and Emily posed and were joined by Charlie as parents continued to click away on cameras ignoring the words of Eric Domb but allowing for a complete picture of Morgan's family before I captured Katie Camille and her parents and Aunt as Jimmy Joy appeared and joined many of the principals from above in a round of photos

followed by pictures of Julie Dickerson, Jake Dale, Zach Balin and Michael Chou, the class officers for the next 5 years and then Jane and Lauren Wong '09 before we admired the changing Times of 7x5 = 35 and called it a P-Rade experience.

After the party broke up, we went to reunions and visited a tent where Suzanne posed with Seva and Peter and then this person who knew Jane from the music library posed with Peter and Suzanne before we called it a night.

It was Sunday, the day of Baccalaureate and of our party. So flowers and balloons of various shapes and sizes were gathered

before I went to process where I ran into Emmet Gowin Mark Burstein and Brady Walkinshaw Lianne Sullivan-Crowley Liz Wood marching for the first time and Rene Carmona and Bob Tarjan, parents of graduates.

When it was over, we found Jane and took the obligatory family photos

Zach Balin was there with his family as the Fishers and Slotznicks posed and Michael Bachand posed with his father as did the Alev family and the Tracy family and Becky Marriott and her father before we adjourned inside and away from the mosquitoes to see all the little sisters of Alex Satty arrayed on the couch playing Maze Cube on their iPods.

The next day was class day. On my way, I ran into Rachel Bolten's parents emerging from the Phi Beta Kappa ceremony and then we sat in front of Katie Camille's aunts who were eating their breakfast as we watched the people troop in and admired the hat of the person in front of us even as photos of our group were taken and the assembled were ushered in by Sandra as Shirley prepared to speak and we watched the people around us and then with a nod to Sandra I was off to meet the trustees.

Ben posed with his sisters and the with Sarah and Suzanne and Kathryn and Jane and then Kathryn and her mom posed before the two moms posed and these pictures of our family were taken followed by some pictures of me and Suzanne dancing (after a fashion) which seemed to amuse Ben as the family gathered in various photo directions before calling it a night.

This was the big day, actual graduation. First came the PADT winners starting with Arcadio Diaz-Quinones with his family and Jeff Stout and Erhan Cinlar and then P. Adams Sitney who posed with his daughter and was willing to wear the "I may be illegal" button on his robes before Janet Neglia and Sara Ingrafia arrived to man the medical station and took this picture of me with the political button on my robes. After I captured Halcyon and Billy Hepfinger (from Pittsburgh) who would lead the singing of Old Nassau, the event happened. After the event, there was one more political picture before Jane came back and was greeted by Syl and Dan and me and then posed for a parental picture before the whole family posed. and then it was family and Syl and family with Dansyl

Next, Jane posed with Katie Camille and Amanda with paparazzi involved and after one more picture of room mates and room mate parents we took a final picture of the flowers a picture of Jane with her president and headed off to Tower where we were greeted by Martha Ferguson and I arranged this plate of food before capturing the others at our table and heading back for dessert from which Sarah was able to construct sculpture as Andrew Kilberg and Steve Marcus and his mother greeted us on behalf of the (former) officers of Tower before we departed. On the way to the car, we saw Rachel George and Henry Barmeier and his family as Dansyl were negotiating cash.

After a break, we headed to a celebratory dinner at Rats where Sarah, Jane and Suzanne posed and we recorded the free (after a fashion) sampler from the kitchen and the escabeche olive dish and the fingerling potatoes and salad soup and bread before the duck burger chicken steak hummus (by a fancier name) cheeses and escabeche arrived along with the pasta with the foam as Sarah Jane Syl Dan Suzanne Ben and I all agreed that a celebration was in order even if in low light and no light it took us some time to record the other desserts. After a family lineup along the back of the seating we head to the sculpture garden where these nice people were willing to share their bench first with Ben then with Ben and Sarah and then with many of us. But, when we looked back to Rats, we realized it was time to go and call it a massive celebration.
