This was the induction day and the weather looked promising as Larry Janet and I headed out for a walk but first celebrated Francis J. Bellamy who wrote the Pledge of Allegiance and for whom this building is named. After walking a bit, we cam to Pach's Place where this was the menu

which Larry and Janet studied as we were joined by Fran who posed with me and fruit salad pats of butter eggs, with hash browns and bacon a tuna sandwich and my meal which was so white that I needed some bacon to make it look photographable keep us fueled until dinner. After a break, Larry and Janet dressed for the event as did Fran who posed here with Janet as Mackenzie Jason and Michelle appeared and we all lounged in the living room waiting for the inductee as Fran Larry and Janet couldn't help but notice that he was still busy on the phone call which had engaged him all day but in time we were able to say good bye to Mackenzie and board the elevator to get to the A la Carte Event Pavillion where the induction was to happen and where Dick and Fran posed and met with the photographer as Larry and Janet spoke with the organizer even as we ate this appetizer while Rich Grattan arrived and posed with Larry and the general and his wife posed with Janet before Larry posed with another of the inductees Dick posed with Rich and Betsy arrived so that the photos could continue with the three sons Dick and Larry Dick and Larry with Alex the three of us with Alex Michelle and Jason and then we were set at the green screen and slowly assembled so that the photographer could take pictures of the family dobkin and eventually have me join the photo scene as Dick was directing things and then posed with his daughters before Dick, Fran, Betsy and Michelle posed and then the gathering spectators saw that after one more photo Jason should join the family photos as Larry and Janet watched and then the group who travel together gathered for these photos after which the three brothers posed for a few and there was some socializing before Rich Grattan posed with the girls and Fran and Dick posed with Michelle and Steve from Ernst and Young and then with his replacement at Ernst and Young as we found our table and noted the program. Michelle took my picture as I took hers and I imagine that this is what she captured as I then captured Dick and Fran and Larry and Janet before the salad and dessert were observed and my main course and the fish main course arrived and Judith posed with Betsy and Michelle as the program began and then Dick was inducted and gave his speech and after a few more speeches, we bid farewells but not before Larry and Dick posed with the trophy and we called it a day.
