(cue the music)
Saturday was graduation day at Hagerstown Community College, and out of over 400 graduates, nearly 250 opted to "walk" as they say.
I volunteered to help out, and my job was to pass out gowns and mortarboards to the Johnny-cum-latelys (see what I did there?) who hadn't ordered ahead.
It was a wonderful event, and I must say that I got goosebumps when the faculty, in all of their differing and colorful, academic regalia, marched in.
To the strains of Pomp and Circumstance (unfortunately, rendered on bagpipes) the grads made their procession. It was very exciting.
The applause at the end nearly brought down the fiieldhouse.
It was a perfect day, among many, many perfect days...these days.
Go Hawks!
