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

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.
