SchoolBen Graduation TravelPebbleBeach The next day, we came down and the kitchen counter ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0015 showed some signs of the night before as the singing group (who had slept over) assembled slowly for breakfast ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0016 and we admired the game ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0017 that had come in the cereal as Ben ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0018 was ready to go and Jane ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0019 was not but no one was going to eat the left over Hoagie ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0020 even if all of the strawberries ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0021 were gone. Suzanne ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0022 wished us well for the last trip to the bus stop where Emily Shea ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0023 was taking pictures like this one ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0024 but Ben was not participating. After admiring the statues Sarah bought in Greece ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0025 we headed to school where Dr. Ginsburg was talking to the PTO mothers ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0026 and captured a picture of the principal ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0027 and then of Harry Cummins ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0028 who was at his last day (at least, for a while) of Princeton schools. Once in the gym, we saw the Resniks ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0029 as Kathy Klockenbrink ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0030 arrived and I took this self portrait ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0031 before capturing the Gelfand parents ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0032 and Aunt Peggy ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0033 who is always there. Tony Klockenbrink arrived and so I took a picture of the bus stop parents ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0034 and siblings ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0035 and of those still sitting ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0036 as Tony ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0037 undoubtedly did the same. As the students climbed the risers, ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0038 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0039 the Schures ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0040 were amused by James' kilt even as we took a few more pictures of the whole class ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0041 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0042 until our view was blocked ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0043 and it was time for someone ( thanks to Sarah for volunteering ) to get in position to see those with memories of second grade to assemble ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0044 and take their turns ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0045 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0046 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0047 until it was Ben's ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0048 and then Stephanie Klockenbrink's ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0049 and then they finished ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0050 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0051 and went through the process of marching through the teachers and new principal ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0052 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0053 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0054 before the ceremony was over. I took the obligatory picture of the Blounts ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0055 and then the Straus family ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0056 who gained a new member ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0057 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0058 before going back to their usual size ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0059 Audrey having forgotten their camera. After the family pictures ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0060 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0061 Ben and Jeremy posed ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0062 and then Ben showed us the planting ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0063 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0064 he had done around the school. On the way to the car, I ran into Ed Percarpio ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0065 getting into his and Tony ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0066 waiting for ours as I bid farewell to JP.

Once home, I headed to the airport for a flight to Monterey so I could attend the Princeton conference on invention and innovation. After dinner that night, I captured Nathan Myhrvold ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0067 David Botstein ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0068 and Jody Friedman ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0069 before heading off to my room ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0070 and noting the massive size of the bathroom ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0071 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0072 ../../../Sabbat/2005/06.16-19.05BensMovingOnPebbleBeachDansyl//IMG_0073 before going to sleep.
