Any ideas for graduation gifts?

Congratulations to the families of class 292. A very proud day for everyone indeed! God's speed to your sons in this next chapter of their career.

Thanks Boss!  The event lived up to it's billing.  NSW Public Affairs couldn't have been more helpful or hospitable.  Adding to the excitement --for those of us attending from the east coast--was the challenge of flying out literally in the wake of hurricane Sandy.  Most all of us had to deal with flight cancellations, postponements and delays.  It seems we all made it one way or another.  My 87 year old father in law, a WWII Navy vet, was set to wait all night in Hartford Airport and fly out standby if necessary.  Luckily we found a flight for him. One couple drove 1,500 miles to Dallas from where they caught a flight.  Last Friday the grinder was filled with some truly grateful and relieved souls...and not just those being awarded a trident!

I heard those travel stories on Thursday night - I am glad I got there when I did!  Kudos to the folks that drove all the way to Dallas to get their connecting flight.  I would have done the same thing, there was no way I was missing it.
