Grandkids Graduation

 O'Fallon, IL  (Hi 64  Lo 48)

We're in O'Fallon, IL for the grandkids graduations. Kyle graduates from Illinois State and Kendall from O'Fallon high school. Now our son Frank and wife Angie are empty nesters. I remember those days. 

We viewed the graduation on live Youtube on TV. There were three sets of 200 kids all thru the day at the high school which across the street from our son. So when they announced the names we could hear the echo so the names were heard twice. Kendall's group was at 3:00. They take pictures after they go across the platform.  It was held in the football area. There's a lot of pictures so click to enlarge them.                                                 Jim and Dee

This is our view of graduation.
