Graduation Day!!!!!
May 1999

In May we had 2 graduations!! Our niece Michelle King graduated from Purdue, and Paul graduated from U of I. It was a great weekend. Click here to see all of Michelle's graduation pics.

So what do you get a great son for a grauation gift? I wanted to get Paul something very special for graduation. Well about a year earlier he mentioned that he regretted that he never received his varsity letter jacket from Eastern Illinois University. Paul and Scott attended Eastern their first two years. They walked on and made both the cross country and track teams. Paul earned a varsity letter and was voted the outstanding freshman. Well I remembered Paul's comment, and called Eastern and talked to his old coach, we made arrangements for Scott to drive to Eastern and pick up his letter Jacket. Paul was thrilled. He said we wasn't ever going to take it off, HE LIED!!

LEO

Claudia' dad (Leonard) was in rare form. Leo is a great guy. We went to the President's open house. It was a very fomal affair. The picture on the left shows Leo drinking punch. He extends his pinky finger when drinking punch at classy shindigs.

This is a great picture! Da boys! Check out Paul's tie. It's the three stooges! It was a graduation gift from Scott. I have this picture as my background on my computer at work.

We think this is the President of U of I?? Check out his pertty necklace.
