CONGRATULATIONS!

May 23, 2004

My sister Christy graduated about twenty-six years ago.

Today, she graduated again, receiving her Master of City Planning diploma from Berkeley.

Isn’t she bee-yoo-tee-ful? I’m the proudest sister in the whole wide world. She had a small ceremony yesterday within her department, and today was the large one, where she wore her robes. What IS it about that hood that’s so wonderful, that has so much power? I loved seeing her in it.

And you must have the obligatory LittleMamaInHat picture:

Christy, you ROCK! I’m so proud that you’re my sister, and my friend. I love you.

    Congratualtions to your sister. I graduated with my masters of public health a few weeks ago. Yes, wearing that hood is a heady thing–dispite all it’s acrylic-ness. Sure to make a mom cry! Love your blog!
