Yes, I am going to bore you with photos of my son Kyle's graduation with a master of divinity degree from Union Theological Seminary in New York City.
 |
| Precommencement picnic at Riverside Park. That would be me, Jordan, Kiefer, Kyle, Brian, and Keegan with my sister taking the photo. |
 |
| Kyle ready for his big day. Good to be a sewer who carries a needle and thread to fix that broken snap on the collar. |
 |
| Union is as old as dirt apparently, 177th commencement! |
 |
| Graduation was in a beautiful courtyard. |
 |
| Kyle's room is in the center overlooking the courtyard. Oh, how these students suffer living in a beautiful building in one of the most beautiful areas of NYC. |
 |
| It's real when the diploma is in hand. |
 |
| Back up again for the Julius Thomas Hansen Memorial Award. They aren't told beforehand that they've won which makes it a fun surprise. |
|
 |
| Al Gore won an award, too, but it pales in comparison to Kyle's for some reason... |
 |
| Oh, yeah! Now that is a real Kyle smile. |
 |
| Future father-in-law Rick was able to come. (Melissa, hope you get online to see this. We will soon be welcoming you home from Mongolia for a nice vacation. |
 |
| End of the day view taken as we were heading home. I wanna live here. |
Oh jeez I feel so bad for the poor lad, having to live in such dreary conditions - how DID he manage to stand it? And heavens (pun not intended - hopefully I don't get smoted!) such an OLD place and program - it must have been agonizing to be surrounded by such history! SO SO SAD! :D
ReplyDeleteCongratulations mom and Kyle and family - isn't it wonderful when one of our birdies graduates? I wasn't even allowed to go to the "graduation ceremony" when our boys finished their apprenticeships - I did ask, but both boys looked horrified at the very thought of me showing up at the College of Trades ... LOL!!!
