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

and Seva, Jane and Suzanne and Jane and Suzanne before we headed onward to the first of our receptions.

First we ran into Anna Bialek and Andrew Ferguson who posed with Sarah and Jane and then Andrew Sedgewick who posed with Jane as Dansyl and Suzanne and Sarah watched and then Patrick Daurio and family the robe wearing Sedgewicks and the entire Sedgewick family

where we looked out at the distance before these photos and Jane, me and Suzanne were taken and Jane and Lizzie Presser posed before Lizzie posed with her family. and next came Oliver Avens and Anne Caswell-Klein and Macester Jeff who hugged Suzanne and posed with Jane before we saw Zach Balin and went to the dark chamber for the diploma awarding which enabled us to see the ever elusive Robert Bromfield. Jane posed with Karen Sisti and then we entered Rocky where the flowers were impressive as Jane greeted Jimmy Joy and posed with him before I posed with Jimmy Joy and then captured him with his father and then Katie Camille with her father and Tom Byrne and Aditya Panda, the class president who posed with me as Dansyl watched from the lunch table. 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.
