Graduation


In my last posting I mentioned that my daughters would be graduating from the University of Portland. That happened this past weekend. It actually took two days. Saturday was the pinning ceremony for the nursing students. Aimee is a member of the 75th class of RN’s. They are 160 strong this year.

Saturday night was the president’s reception. It was held on the indoor tennis courts. Sunday stared with brunch and then standing in line to get into the Chiles Center. The commencement ceremonies started at 1:30pm and it was nearly 5pm before all the degrees (700+) were presented.

Aimee has a BS in Nursing. She is on her way to Texas and a new adventure. Ashlee has earned a BS in Secondary Education, with second major in history and a minor in Psychology. She is now looking for teaching position here in Oregon.
