Heather's Graduation from Cal State Fullerton!

The proud parents & happy husband with the graduate!
Jeff has been so supportive of Heather!

The proud graduate! She got her degree in Liberal Studies, which is a "smattering" of lots of topics, ancient history, art, philosophy, geology, etc. perfect for K-8 teachers.
Rob, Karen & Jeff Himes with the graduate!
Her grandparents made the effort to come. We ended up walking a lot and sitting in the bleachers for 1 1/2 hours before the program started. Fortunately we brought stadium seats so we could lean back.
Ages-Jerry 90, Gma 83 & Gpa 87. Lookin' good, huh?

Heather's Graduation Party today

Robin & I got visit for a little while, while the 2 Ukrainian
seminary graduates played ping pong.
Igor & Elijah are part of a group of Ukrainian graduates, who are pastors & teachers, who came to the US to walk in Talbot Seminary's graduation ceremony on May 29. One of them is staying with Robin & David for the week.
Heather greeting Aunt Robin at the party today.
Here is the 100-year-old gown that Great Aunt Lola Taber purchased in 1911 to graduate from Whittier College. We figure that 17 or 18 family members have worn it to graduate from college.
Heather by the table of goodies.
Grandma & Grandpa came to both the graduation & the party!
About 20 people came to wish Heather well. :-)
