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
and then I saw Phil Nord but didn't get a good picture
even as Casey approached all excited about the Thunder game the night before
and the seats were there
as the stage was set
the cameraman was ready
and the balloons of celebration were in place
none of which excited Ben who was feeling the heat
while I took these self portraits
and then saw Kim and Norma arrive and take their space under the tree
as the stage people began to assemble
as did the non-seniors in around 8
and the photographing parents
would allow an occasional glimpse of the entering seniors
before rising again
even as the graduates turned the corner
and the assembled got prepared to watch
as Suzanne
watched pierce take the stage
and then Around 8 did its thing (but no national anthem)
before Jane returned to her seat
and I was left to admire the list of graduates (with Jane's *)
and the planned program
before Judith Wilson got ready for the graduates
and after a few test pictures
