Whew.....what a hectic week, but it's over with all the "pomp and circumstance." On Thursday, Cisco's successfully defended his dissertation, in front of his committee of professors and family and friends. So on Saturday, he was ceremonially "hooded," and walked across the stage to receive his diploma for the final time. He was just so happy to have family and friends there to celebrate with him. Our good friends, the Yamamotos, came in from Hawaii to see their daughter Kerry graduate as well. So it worked out perfect that we could spend time with them, especially with Bryce, one of Cisco's best friends from Pacific. Below are some pics from the day.....
Dinner the night before with the Yamamotos
It was awesome to hang out with Bryce again, even if it was only for a little while
Our best friends from "Center of the Universe" (COU - Boise, ID that is) came up to celebrate. No, they don't have the COU mindset like all the other Donkeys....THESE TWO ARE VANDALS!!
No, you're not seeing double, those are two Dr. Reyes indeed.

Cisco's major professor, Dr. Dennis Dolny
Cisco, aka. "Dragon," was so happy that his right-hand man and teammate Mr. Lokteff, aka. "Night-Hawk," got him what he's always wanted: an LA Dodgers hat for graduation. So after the ceremony, they had some fun with it.
This is what Cisco REALLY wanted to wear to the ceremony: Chucks, khakis, and his Dodgers-fitted, with the tassel
ALWAYS representin' the WEST COAST....we call this picture: "The West Coast Graduate."
Gosh, it feels SO good to be back here................
