The day had finally come after 12 long years (or maybe more) and it was Jane's graduation.  The first people I ran into were Carolyn Williams and her nephew who seemed like a very impressive gentleman with his degrees and current job.

Next I saw Chris Hagadorn, so I seemed to be making the proper rounds of Jane's friend's parents

../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000976
</PHOTO>
and then I saw Phil Nord but didn't get a good picture
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000977
</PHOTO>
even as Casey approached all excited about the Thunder game the night before
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000978
</PHOTO>
and the seats were there
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000979
</PHOTO>
as the stage was set
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000980
</PHOTO>
the cameraman was ready
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000981
</PHOTO>
and the balloons of celebration were in place
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000982
</PHOTO>
none of which excited Ben who was feeling the heat
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000983
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000984
</PHOTO>
while I took these self portraits
<PHOTO>

../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000986
</PHOTO>
and then saw Kim and Norma arrive and take their space under the tree
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000987
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000988
</PHOTO>
as the stage people began to assemble
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000989
</PHOTO>
as did the non-seniors in around 8
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000990
</PHOTO>
and the photographing parents
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000991
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000992
</PHOTO>
would allow an occasional glimpse of the entering seniors
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000993
</PHOTO>
before rising again
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000994
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000995
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000996
</PHOTO>
even as the graduates turned the corner
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000997
</PHOTO>
and the assembled got prepared to watch
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000998
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1000999
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1010001

../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1010005
</PHOTO>
and then Around 8 did its thing (but no national anthem)
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1010006
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1010007
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1010008
</PHOTO>
before Jane returned to her seat
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1010009
</PHOTO>
and I was left to admire the list of graduates (with Jane's *)
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1010010
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1010011

Jane got her degree
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1010020
</PHOTO>
and began the march off stage
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1010021
</PHOTO>
into the row
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1010022
</PHOTO>
and back to her seat
<PHOTO>
../../../Sabbat/2006/06.22.06JanesHighSchoolGraduation//P1010023
</PHOTO>
and then happily marched away from the graduation degree in hand.
<PHOTO>
