Gradumatation Day !!!

Yes indeed the young man graduated cum laude with double majors in History and Government. The whole weekend was fun and memorable; the baccalaureate was indoors due to rain, then we went to a lecture by The Honorable Kathleen Kennedy Townsend as the school marked 50 years since her father Robert Kennedy was in the area. Not a proud moment for the area as he fought against the anti-integration closing of the Prince Edward county schools for 5 years. Too bad they didn't take questions afterwards, I was going to ask if it was true that her grandmother had a black dress......yeah, still too soon I guess.

Scott Cooper (class of 1992) gave the commencement address after his daughter won everyone's heart by singing that d****d song from Frozen. He's working with Johnny Depp on a movie about Whitey Bolger. I got really excited to hear that, but then realized he said Bolger, thought he said Ford.

So Jackson got his diploma:

Then had his picture taken at the picnic with Elizabeth, yes, she is lovely

Then realized he has to pay for all of this.................just kidding!

TAR took this picture as they drove off campus, it really is a good shot of his "one last look"

Free food brings a crowd! We were glad so many could attend and enjoy

So it is now Friday at lunch and we have a very sad funeral to attend at 2:00. Pat was a wonderful lady, Scout leader, and faithful church lady who often drove the handicapped bus. She died far too young and we will all miss her, so I thought something funny would make us all feel better:

Tonight we set off for the Indianapolis 500, can not wait!
