Harvard Commencement

Four hundred years of tradition, church bells pealing, ushers in morning coats, crimson banners rippling in the breeze, the Mayor of Middlesex County calling the festivities to order, and Karen and I in our seats by 7:15 a.m. for Morning Exercises that started at 9:30! Dave invited me to be there as his guest to see him in his scarlet gown and funny little black velvet hat, as he was awarded his diploma. He is now "Dr. Dave", thank you very much, and a biostatistician like no other. Thus ends four years of hard work and little sleep, although he still seems to be working hard on a paper for publication, so I guess it never really ends. Movers arrive the last week in June. I'm counting the days.
