We went to visit Hank and Micki to get a demonstration of LED Lights and also saw their roll out pantry shelves
Then it was time for reunions and Katie Camille arrived
We stopped at Jeff's house and met Abby Stewart '11 and Sam Nicholson '10
and Sami Yabroudi '11.
On Friday, Cathy Rampell arrived
followed by Jane and Katherine Bailey
and then Jane posed with Clair Marine
who came bearing gifts for various family members
including this properly Princeton shoe horn.
On our way to the car to go out for dinner, we ran into Rachel Bolton who was heading to our house
and at dinner, this was my risotto with green vegetables
and Susie Diekman's salmon
before we headed to campus to see the stage
where many cameras were in action
because Bon Jovi was performing

and these were the pizzas
that led to a better view
as his roadies operated.
Back at home, Nate Plough '11 appeared.
Saturday morning, there was the usual collection of shoes
and reunions memorabilia
including these tokens for Sarah's class
as Jane marginally posed
as did Suzanne
and Ben (slow day for all)
before Tracy Walsh '10 appeared
with Zach Balin
and Eve Glaser appeared
and these macaron cookies from Andrei came about
as Patrick van Nieuwenhuizen and Andrei Ungureau appeared
as Clair Marine had her morning bagel (of which we had very many thanks to Eve)
and the crowd assembled at the dining room table
where I put on the Princeton sunglasses
and others gathered
before Eve left for a pre-PRade brunch
as Jane tried on Ben's top hat
as did Patrick
and then Rachel appeared
as the first group left for the PRade
followed by Rachel and Jane.
After the PRade, this was the line at Hoagie Haven
and back at home, Alex Bauman appeared
as did Cathy
and we dressed Alex up as though he were a Princetonian (complete with beer jacket and wristband)
and he posed with Jane to add to his street cred
as Eve and Cathy posed
followed by Eve and Alex
and Virginia Pourakis '05
as we headed to the fireworks after which we saw the Spergel family
and ran into Peter and Seva.
After rejecting Joan Jett and exploring some tents, we ran into Jane who introduced us to Name Withheld and Eric Markfield '09
before posing with Tess English.
Sunday morning I awoke to the shoes but departed long before anyone woke up
eventually making it to baccalaureate where I saw Dave Offensend and John Diekman
and after the event, I ran into many of the Mulveys next generation.
Next day was the honorary degrees dinner and Suzanne and I posed with Aretha Franklin, queen of soul
and then went to visit Jeff where the visiting Turks made quite a display of shoes
Graduation being the next day, I captured Simon Gikandi and Paul Muldoon,
Peter Lewis, Josh Grehan and Dave Offensend
Chris Campizano with 3
and then 4 of the award winning teachers
before I posed with Pete Carrill.
Back at home, Cathy Rampell sent these flowers which we appreciated.
