It was to be a special day. As I walked in to work, they were almost totally prepared for what was to come even though the chapel entrance was closed

Once in the office, I saw George Butts (GeoRomeo) about COS 111 and John Taylor about independent work. Michele came in a little late and not feeling well. Then Misha came by to show me his latest results.

Patrick Min and Jim Roberts came by and we went to check out the video with Steve Elgersma making sure the controls worked and Patrick putting in the video to show that it played. On the way back to the office, Doug Clark tried to hide down this stairwell but we got him before he got away. After a few head shots to show off my new haircut, Brian came by and we posed in our parade costumes. Then Andrea arrived and finally Andrew so that the team was assembled and we could go to the parade grounds.

Once there, the chemical engineers asked that I take their picture (I also took one with their camera). Mike Jennings was seeming quite happy and Brad Dickinson was trying to figure which end was up. Brian hooked up with Hisashi Kobyashi and Karin Trainor while Jim Wei showed his new hat to Georgia Nugent and Brian took Doug Clark's picture. Finally we got it. The fancy people assembled as this woman took our pictures and then the parade began and the ceremony completed.

Afterwards, I took Suzanne to see the Friend Center where we ran into Adam who took this picture of me and then I captured Michael Littman in this pose.

The main event was on the track field. We ran into Dan and Priscilla Scheiner with this woman who this woman thought was their daughter. Bill and BJ were there in Princeton regalia and Jim Wei had pants to die for. Suzanne had the soup while Van Williams and friends waited in line and I got a picture of the ice sculpture. Stuart Schwartz was enjoying the event as we finally got out food and proceeded to the table.

Once at the table, Jane and friend showed the best of the collection of desserts while Laurie Russen watched and Beth was too close for focus while ThomasR and his wife joined in the discussion about the waters of Princeton.
