Memorial Day 2006

We had quite the outing for Memorial Day this year. Kathleen's maid of honor, Lisa (for whom Kathleen will, in turn, be maid of honor) graduated from the Johns Hopkins medical program. We all decided to make the whole to-do an extended weekend, so after the graduation festivities, we went to Wildwood, NJ, on the south Jersey shore. Boardwalks and corn dogs abounded. That, and sunburn. We had quite the swell time despite, though.

Hopkins puts a close-up video of the graduates on the big screen. Here's Lisa's candid.

.. and with Kathleen

.. and so you can see the whole robe business. Note the stripes on the sleeves. That's Doctor G to you.

You gotta believe!

.. in the greatest city in America!

Lisa processing in.. (see a theme? I just want to make sure people who might want these pics can find a copy..)

Mayor of NYC, Michael Bloomberg spoke at the convocation. He was kind of an idiot.

The piece of paper she's worked so hard for. Lisa G, MD.
