Seth becomes a Doctor and a Captain in one day

 So today was Seth's big day.  He graduated from UNM Medical School.  They even announced him as Doctor Seth Farnsworth.  Archie and I were able to go with Kristina.  It was held at Popejoy Hall, for those of you who have been there.  Everyone was able to choose the person to put the hood on you.  They had to be a MD, a PhD or a JD.  Seth chose his father who has a PhD in engineering.  Kristina and I sat together on the second row, middle behind the graduates.  Archie had to sit with the honorary hooders.  They went up together.  By the way, you can see the green front of the hood in the first picture.  All these pictures were taken just after the ceremony.  We look pretty happy in these pictures. 





Then after we got home and had a celebratory turkey dinner, Grandpa Richardson, who is a retired Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force administered the oath that made him a Captain in the Air Force.  Grandpa also swore him in to the Air Force as a Lieutenant 3 years ago.  It was a pretty special day all around.

You've been a pretty busy woman. . You, Archie, and everyone else there! Thanks for all you are doing.
What a great time for Dad to be there, and be a part of Seth's experience. Congratulations Seth, we're all very proud of you!
