Congratulations to Gram

She graduated from Harvard University on Thursday!

Dad flew to Boston on Wednesday - or was it on Thursday? (that's another story altogether) - to join the Chambers side of the family for the occasion, which was some 40 years in the making.

See, a few years after Gram finished her two-year degree in dental hygiene, she started taking courses in Harvard's Extension School. Another 34 years later, she finally earned her four-year degree there. For that, she also earned a special mention during the graduation ceremony.



(Dad had trouble locating Gram in the crowd. That's her sitting down at the end.)

Now here she is on her walk to get her diploma. As noted, she graduated cum laude, but she also was on the Dean's List!



You'll understand if she rests on those laurels - for a few months, anyway. She'll be working on a master's degree soon enough!
