<p>paying3, other than the elbows and short tempers, it sounds lovely. We will be attending graduation this weekend, and your comment about the college renting scooters and wheelchairs was just the reminder I needed, as MIL (age 84) will not be able to navigate the campus. If we can just get her to swallow her pride and use a wheelchair just to get from place to place, maybe we can all make this work in what will be 90 degree heat in the East. My S's college does have a professional photog take the "waltzing across the stage" pix, so hopefully there will be less elbowing.</p>
<p>Edit: It is especially nice that you would take the time to thank the various college personnel who tried their best to help make it an enjoyable weekend. I'm sure it was (unfortunately) unusual and was much appreciated.</p>
