Next it was graduation day but I needed to work all of the juice out of my battery, so I took pictures of the car pulling out of the driveway as Suzanne took Jane to usher
and then of Ben eating breakfast
not to mention the peanut butter and Nutella jars
the assembly of Ben's lunch
and the remains of Jeff's imports from Hawaii for the shower
all of which brought the clock to near Ben departure time
as we admired the flowers from reunions
Jane's rain boots
Ben's shoes
and Suzanne's hand
while Ben read
and the hula dancers danced
and the clock marked time
on the deck
and in the back yard
even as moss fell on the deck
and Suzanne went to get the papers
and brought them back
to enter the house
and leave her shoes
so that Ben and I could record the garbage can as the battery gave way.
Next we walked in to work, stopping to vote on the way, and ran into Steven Healy.
At the appointed hour, we went to the west door of Nassau Hall and gathered with Lauren Robinson-Brown and Cliff Moore
who took this picture of Suzanne and me
before the car pulled up and Loni Ali emerged and greeted me
and then she greeted Suzanne.
Next, Muhammad Ali emerged from the car
and shook my hand
and then came into Nassau Hall
and down the hall
before settling in a chair in my office.
I posed with Muhammad Ali
and then Suzanne and I posed with Muhammad Ali
before the camera focussed in on me and Ali
and then Lauren and Cliff posed with him
and Lauren, Cliff and Eric Hamblin posed with Ali
before Suzanne posed with Loni
and Terdema Ussery arrived and chatted with Loni
before Kenny Samuels posed with Ali
and shook his hand
and then Terdema posed
and as people chatted in the office
Bob Durkee arrived and joined the assembled
and then Steven Healy posed with Ali
as did Bob Durkee
and Emery Whalen '09
before I left Ali
and went to join the crowd where I ran into Bob Murley and his daughter Megan
and Paul Raushenbush
and the outstanding teachers Peggy Stewart, Raymond Page, Nina Lavlinskaia and Bruce Grefe with John Webb
Outside, Sanj Kulkarni and Doug Clark were getting the parade ready
and so the marchers passed.
After the event, I recorded Ken Norman and his wife
and Eric Gregory
and that afternoon, Jane took this picture of Lucy.
Mary Baum was nice enough to give me this picture of herself and Toni Turano
and Kya Hertz gave me these two of herself with Muhammad Ali and Bruce Grefe
