Well “Graduation Day” has come and passed… As grandparents it is wonderful for us to see the grandkids going the distance and graduating from high school and then take the step into the world of “higher education”. Now Trevor Joel had a couple of things going for him this weekend.

Well “Graduation Day” has come and passed… As grandparents it is wonderful for us to see the grandkids going the distance and graduating from high school and then take the step into the world of “higher education”. Now Trevor Joel had a couple of things going for him this weekend.
First he turned 18 (on Friday) and then he followed that up with the graduation. Trev has played the bass and guitar off and on with a couple of rock bands in St Maries over the last couple of years, so we bought him one of those electronic games called “Rock Band”. Hell, I wish I had one of those when I was playing in our band back in the late 50’s early 60’s. I just had to try it out, and to tell you the truth I was terrible at it. Saturday afternoon Louise, Joelle, and I drove down to St Maries from Coeur d’Alene. Trev went down Friday night and unfortunately left his graduation cap and gown behind. Well, no problem…we’ll bring it down with us. Unfortunately I was a little slow in getting away to St Maries. As we were about 35 minutes away we started getting the phone call…”are you close yet???”. I could feel Trev starting to sweat…we were going to be late and his cap and gown were with us.
Fortunately we did make it on time. Trev was waiting out on the street when we pulled up. Grabbing his gear and saying hi to all of us, he was off to immerse himself into the mass of graduates. There are a couple of good things about going to a graduation at a small school and having a small graduating group is just one of them. The ceremonies were great, short but great. We were but just a couple of spectators in the auditorium but we were very proud spectators to say the least.
