 John reminded me this is the 20th anniversary of his graduation from high school.  He quipped, "I actually personally knew Barb Lehman."  I did too. She was wonderful.

 Lydia, (aka Kari) accepting her diploma:

 Yay!  What a beautiful night.

 John and Lydia:

 Julia and Kari:

 And p.j.:

 All the kids, except Little Jay had to work.  That's okay.  It's life.
