Congratulations to All the Graduates

This is graduation week in so many places and I am reminiscent of this time last year when we celebrated two in our house at the same time.


I can’t say that my childhood memories are always easy to reach anymore but some remain crystal clear and included among them each of my own graduations going back to elementary school.  I remember the dress I wore in fifth grade and the speech the principal gave when we moved up to high school.  And interestingly I remember how hot it was on the day of my high school graduation – but remember much more clearly losing the senior competition for Miss Talent.


I wonder as time goes on if I will remember my children’s graduation milestones more clearly than my own.


In any event, wishing all the graduates of the season much good luck and good fortune!

Yes any who endured deserve our praise and let's forget those who endured for the last time or second to last time last month. Interesting I recall more of my college than of my law school. I recall being dropped off by my step dad who drove me and two friends to our Jr High rehearsal at Queens College. No memories of the ceremony/ program - could be the picture Chaz took of the three of us crossing Kissena Blvd. I recall h.s. being outside at Forest Park but that's it (I do retain the program.). I recall college grads for Jonathan and Marisa (A certain U.S Senator spoke at both - I think same exact address and claimed he saw me in the audience at Marisa's when I saw him a day later.) and Jonathan's grad school convocation.
Just honor all the hard work of each and every grad (and their parents.)
