Graduation Wrap Up

Last Saturday was Ian's high school graduation. It was held at the Civic Center, plenty of seating, we didn't get there early enough to get floor level seats so we did a little climbing and made ourselves comfortable. The program was good - the valedictorian sang the National Anthem superbly, he, the other student speakers and the guest speaker, former Governor Angus King were quite enjoyable. When Ian's time came to receive his diploma he looked great! Tall and walking with a classic stride. Carol and I were very proud. We had quite a group with us. Carol's sisters and husbands, Lois & Jim, Elaine & Steve, Ian's grandmother, Margaret and brother Greg's wife Bev and son Jonathan. The stage pictures were quite blurry so I did the best I could for here on a webpage.

The seniors marched out after they all had turned

their backs on the audience - donned shades - turned
back and proceeded off the stage.

I guess we could have rounded up a few more
people but.... you guessed it, "just a little is enough"

Taylor and Ian - freshly graduated.

The next day (Sunday) we had a Graduation Brunch at our house. Carol made a lot of goodies, Lois and Elaine brought some more, great stuff!
