Dateline: Home Study

I blogged my graduation from the US Naval War College back in June but did not have the pictures at the time. Well, I got the pictures but then never posted them so, here they are.

First I received my diploma from former Deputy of State Richard Armitage.

Then, after receiving my diploma, my wife catches me just as I am about to step off the stage.

The really nice thing about this was that part of the ceremony was formal and part was informal. When we went across the stage, the President encouraged family to come down front and take pictures and greet the graduates. Being a military organization the families were all respectful of the others and went down front just as their graduate was about to cross, and the nreturned to their seats as soon their gradaute came off the stage. It really made the day special (wish my daughter could have been there with me) and I wish we could do the same thing at MSU graduations. But of course there is one big difference…I did mention this was a military function didn’t I.
