May 2nd was a hot and very happy day
in Belmont, time for Rebecca to graduate and receive her degree from Notre
Dame de Namur University! Here she is with her VERY proud mom and her Magna
Cum Laude medal!
The graduates walked into the soccer
stadium, Rebecca was just ahead of John, at 83 the oldest graduate!
.
None too soon they were all seated
and the endless speeches began. Those black robes had to be hot in the sun!
Time to head up the
steps to the stage to receive her diploma. She was with her friends Sean and
Jamie!
The President of the
University hands her the degree!
Afterwards it was
back to the house to celebrate. Uncle Tim and Aunt Kathy drove out from
Riverbank to join in the festivities!
Jesse and Rebecca
joined Grandma Toni and Grandad R.L. for a picture.
Rebecca's advisor
throughout her University journey, Mr. Ellis, joined in wishing her well for
the future.
Even our neighbors,
Miriam, Cel and Flo, had a grand time!
Jesse and Rebecca
enjoyed the party and Jesse joined the rest of the family in being very
proud of our graduate!
Thanks to Oma
and Grandpa Rich for taking some of the great pictures here.
