Didn't cross to the American side. So far as European professors go -- if Vaughn had any more Russian professors, they would have to move the school to Moscow. Personally I like the gowns from the University of Zambia, and from some in Quebec, as well as from Europe.<br /><br />I didn't need to squelch the "WOOOO!" I was only afraid that Lois would do it! It was a good day, and we are very proud of Vaughn. Thank you for bringing Dad up, and for joining us as well.Climenheisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989459133238230712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-87731480087913586272010-08-21T18:43:18.561-04:002010-08-21T18:43:18.561-04:00It is a wonderful accomplishment to reach the doct...It is a wonderful accomplishment to reach the doctoral level at University. Congrats!<br /><br />I am glad you father could be at this occasion.<br /><br />May I point out that your nephew is contemplating the Falls while he is standing in Canada. He looks like he is trying to work out a new formula to calculate the volume of water over the Canadian Falls to his right. Perhaps, he is think what it would be like if they did no divert so much water to generate electricity.<br /><br />When I served the church in the Boston area I got to march at the head of the procession at Harvard's graduation. Now you can go Wooooo!. Historically, Harvard college was founded to train clergymen. Tradition was that all the "First Churches" in the immediate communities got to have their ministers head the procession. As it turned out after the Unitarians captured all the First Church congregational in the famous Dedham case decision, all the ministers at the head of the procession were Unitarian. So humble me found myself in the group representing the First Church (Unitarian) of Roxbury. I would rather have been collecting a doctoral degree. Perhaps, in the next life!<br /><br />PS. Penn State needs to hire more European professors and they would have a more colourfull parade. I love the ones with the lovely floppy tam like hats.Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-15612190904014109672010-08-19T20:05:22.366-04:002010-08-19T20:05:22.366-04:00The titles of those papers were beyond my comprehe...The titles of those papers were beyond my comprehension.

Thanks for sharing. That's certainly a good reason to go to such events...we do not know when a celebration will be our last opportunity.<br />As for the Lions--?? who knows. Coach Paterno has been looking and sounding very frail. The news media is focused on that, and on wanting to know who the quarterback will be, and how the untested line will do. They are ranked WAY low...KGMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165941950953938943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-37496432702990034312010-08-15T14:04:37.467-04:002010-08-15T14:04:37.467-04:00How wonderful for your dad to be able to witness a...How wonderful for your dad to be able to witness all these commencements, and congratulations to your nephew.<br /><br />The last big affair that my husband had attended was David's graduation from Penn State. We were there on a ocld December day. David hadn't relaly wanted to bother with the formalities. I told him that if that much money had been spent, I wanted to see some kind of ceremony, and so he did and we went. I think David is glad that he had that moment with his dad. It is probably the last photo that they have together.<br /><br />By the way, what's the word on the Lions? Did they get a good recruiting class?Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269872465115056916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-80468892424562059782010-08-15T13:35:02.018-04:002010-08-15T13:35:02.018-04:00"... and many hands shook."
