WWU Fall Quarter 2011 Commencement

December 12th, 2011 by Lylene | Posted in Random | 1 Comment »

Congratulations to Bellingham WWU Graduates

Congratulations to WWU Grads of Fall 2011

Congratulations to WWU Grads of Fall 2011

There was standing room only at Carver Gym yesterday afternoon as WWU held its Fall commencement exercises for approximately 600 undergraduates & about 40 masters candidates.  Lylene & I had a vested interest in this Fall’s event as our youngest son, Graham, was one of the 600 sitting out in front of us waiting for the opportunity to move the tassel on his graduation cap from the right side to the left.

 Needless to say there were years of thoughts and memories that were going through everyone’s minds as we all sat and listened to the commencement speakers and the graduates being introduced.  I can only speak for myself remembering the laughter & tears that got us to this point, and all I can say Graham is that we love you & that your Mom & I feel lucky to have been part of the Journey.

Proud parents with their son - a WWU Graduate

So, Fall Graduates, we wish you the best, the World awaits you & needs your enthusiasm, energy, hope and ideas.
