    Top left is Stephie, Brandon, and Jessica out in front of the house before the event.
    Next is Stephie gowned up by The Tiffany Garden.
    Next Stephie takes her first steps in the procession, she's third from right.
    Passing in review.
    In position and mugging for Uncle Ray from Brooklyn. I owe him the world for these shots. He owes me the universe for our childhood.
    All turned around mugging.
    Even more mass mugging.
    She just received her dip and is headed back to her seat.
    Paper in hand, back in place.

    Stephie, Brandon and Jessica all attended the same pre-school and have played together since forever. Brandon is A-OKAY in my book. I love that kid. So does Stephie, but not in the way Brandon would like. She does care for him, but doesn't want to risk losing him as a friend should things not work out. I am FIRMLY in Brandon's corner on this one, and I hope his heart is not broken in the long run. He has loved her forever. I bite my tongue bad on this one, cause some of the guys she does go out with, I'd just as soon "gong" them on their first approach to the driveway. Jessica has been a sleepover regular since they started kindergarten.


    There you go. The Rancocas Valley Regional High School Class of 2008!

    This is the school that football star Franco Harris graduated from. His home was the closest home to the school, MAYBE 30 yards across the parking lot from his front door to the side entrance. Legend has it he never made it to school once on time.

    Outstanding. Please congratulate her for me, would you. And to you, too. Is she still keeping the same plan?

    Thanks youse guys! Theresa's taking Stephie along on a work seminar to Beantown today thru Sunday, so they're out right now running last minute stuff. It's good cause I'm looking at these images and tearing through the freakin' tissues. My little "Hot Dog" is a beautiful and gracious young adult.

    You're right Hard Marky, a lot of students and parents throwing out their chests right now, and justifiably so.

    Congrats George! I know how proud I am that our almost 2 yr old can count to 5, so I can't imagine her graduating high school. Great job! Will you and the Mrs. have an empty nest or are there more Grand kids still running around the house?

    Congrats to you and yours George.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Brandon looks like a douchebag in that picture...but with two recently graduated, intelligent, motivated females on each arm...how could you not be downgraded.

    Rock on George, tell her Anthony just got a new tattoo.
