When we got together this morning, we decided to drive to Woolrich, PA. Although nothing was purchased, we had a grand time looking in their company store. The mills and sewing factory are no longer used, but the town is still quaint with is row houses, and the corporate offices are still in Woolrich.
When we drove back to State College, Daniel and Rosalyn recommended their local Mangolian BBQ for lunch. It was fine fair, and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely.
Of course the fated hour finally did arrive. The graduation ceremonies were held in the Eisenhower building, and Daniel looked great in his new Ph. D. academic garb. We tried to take lots of pictures of the actual walk, but alas, the lighting was such that we got very few photos that turned out.
We were able to get these two pictures of Daniel on the back row with his homeys. The chemistry department graduate four or five new Ph. D.s and there were lots of others. The entire ceremony was very dignified and moved quite quickly. I think my dean could have benefited from seeing a more dignified commencement. I particularly liked the way they discouraged applause until everyone had received their degree. It made for a nice occasion.
The best photos were taken outside, after the affair was over. I hope that Daniel feels the magnitude of this accomplishment. We are so happy that he and Rosalyn have completed their education.
