Many of you may think the ceremony is trivial and a waste of time. ?However, 
after 6 years and 18 hour days working full time at my job and long hours at 
the university, there was no way i was not going to the ceremony. ?It was 
also nice for the family as my wife and 2 daughters, who were generally on 
the back burner while I worked on my studies, could participate in the 
completion of my studies.


Now, Elizabeth, while your dad did not mention the employer, from the 
location he gave it appears you have a job at one of the Chip manufactures. 
?Now why would you waste that MSEE at a fake electronics firm, when you 
could be working at a real Electronics job in the Aerospace area? ?;-)


Again, Congratulations,
Gene
