Aunt Rebecca graduated!

with Aunt Rebecca, yesterday after her graduation from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia

We were glad to bypass the bleachers and spread out on the grass to watch the ceremony unfold. Ellie was great.

that's the Honorable Dr. Newt Gingrich (did you know he had a PhD? I didn't) on one of the jumbo trons
he delivered the commencement address and received an honorary degree yesterday morning
3,800 students graduated yesterday...

the day was celebratory but also subdued in light of the death earlier in the week of Liberty's founder and chancellor, Dr. Falwell (you might be able to see tribute in the program photographed above)

Ellie was gettin' a bit hungry for lunch. Sorry for the lack of her normally pleasant face.
Rebecca, we're proud of you and look forward to seeing where the Lord directs you next!
