<p>Beautiful description of a memorable moment, and I appreciate your appreciation of all who work so hard to pull off such events. </p>
<p>My less than ceremonial university student did not want to go to his graduation, saw no reason to pay money to walk across the stage. And spared me a long trip and money spent in the process. He did go to his departmental reception. We've had some nice reflections on the whole process and the meaning of it since, and will have more to come, as we'll have a party and a really nice dinner together in liu of me traveling to the ceremony. </p>
<p>From what I've heard about the LAC graduations, they can be quite memorable events. Am looking forward to a few of those, in upcoming years.</p>
