May 9th was a very special day. Tina was graduated from USM, as was her sister Dawn. I arrived after the procession had begun and the lights had been lowered, but I spotted Thankful in section U and eventually squeezed past several people to sit next to her. Lynn and her daughter Becca were behind me, and Frederick, Gary, Hanna, Johnny, Lily, Dahlia and Steve were two rows in front of us. I was glad I had brought to 70-300mm telephoto for the Nikon D80, as the shots I took were long ones.
After the ceremony, we all headed to Black Point Inn, except that I stopped at the Mill Creek CVS to make prints of a bunch of the shots. Kathy left bee school and met us at BPI.
The toasts to Tina and Dawn were moving, especially Thankful’s. Eryn called from Mt. Holyoke part way through them, and Thankful put her on speaker phone, but she wasn’t prepared an impromptu speech.
I’ll add details and photos to this entry as time permits.
