It's official! Gregor has his Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering (with a concentration in aeronautical engineering)! our luck, for the first time in 20 years, it rained on graduation day, forcing commencement at Worcester Polytechnic Institute to be held indoors. That limited the seating, so while Armen, Elissa and I, along with Conor and Carey, were able to attend the ceremony, Gregor's girlfriend, Liz, and her mother watched the streaming video from another spot on campus. (Imagine that - a technical school having the capability of providing commencement online!) Armen and I couldn't be prouder!
It was a great event, with plenty of pomp and circumstance and regalia - but none of the extemporary hand springs and levity that are par for the course at a UO graduation, however.
Afterwards, Russ, Drew, Tess, Kyle, and Liz and her mother and father joined us for a meal to celebrate. There were toasts all around to the graduate and plenty of cards, gifts and good times. We'll be doing it all again next spring when Gregor expects to "walk" for his Master's degree!
There were 700 graduates at his commencement - causing a little "where's Gregor?" We found him, though...can you?~Kathy
