Krista's Commencement/Graduation

We arrived at the University of Incarnate Word campus early to make sure we got good seating.  The streets are decorated with these signs....

Manuel took a few pictures while we waited for the Grads to come into the auditorium.

Krista's aunts made the red carnation boutonnieres for each of us.

The stage is nicely decorated.  We are all set to begin this Very Special Event...Doctor of Pharmacy Graduation!

The San Antonio Pipes and Drums march in....

The Grads are all ready to receive their Doctor of Pharmacy Degrees....

All the Professors and Deans are seated and ready.

Elizabeth Ames Jones was the Special Guest Speaker.    Krista is next in line to receive her degree!
