Welcome, Graduates!

Sunday dawned cold and cloudy. We were off to the official graduation that was being held in the football stadium. The proud uncle and dad led the way.




I wasn't kidding about it being cold and cloudy. Look at how we're dressed. Eventually the clouds cleared and the sun came out. It ended up being another beautiful day.




While we waited for graduation to begin Bob and Nancy had time to visit with friends.




Friends and family were in place and we only waiting for the graduates to arrive.




A Villanova nod to Notre Dame. Go Irish!




It looks like the graduates are gathered and ready.




Nancy had forgotten her telephoto lens and had asked me to get some photos of Dan leading the graduates into the stadium. Oh my, the pressure was on.

"There he is! Come over here so you can get a better view."

Where? Where? I don't see him leading the graduates.




Oops. My mistake. I was looking down the wrong aisle.

There's our graduate!






We all stood and watched as the graduates filed in.




Dan turned and held that flag while all of the 2010 Villanova graduates marched to their seats.




What's up with the cell phones? Back in the day we didn't have such things. After we were in our seats we would then spend the rest of the ceremony scanning the crowd looking for our friends and family. It certainly helped pass the time. This generation just calls and says, "I'm here".




In the meantime Dan kept holding his flag.




Eventually all of the graduates were seated and graduation was about to begin.
