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.
