Congratulations!

Well I think it's because otherwise the state wanted one more payment for our attendance on monday and with our diplomas in hand we probably wouldn't show up again  

Thanks guys!

I finished High School in June 1987. *sigh* I was even a varsity letterman.  I found my letter, pins, and the certificate.   I forgot that I had ever gotten them!!
Never finished college.  Not one of my better choices in life.
