Bragging alert: The newest B.S. in Chemistry
Just had to throw in a picture of my son and his gf. They both graduated from 'Bama yesterday, she magna cum laude and he summa cum laude.

It's off to grad school in a few months.

1. Congratulations! He must be a very smart guy.
So if he's going to grad school I guess you can't put away your checkbook yet... ;)

6. Congratulations to all
Nothing wrong with bragging about that.

It can't be helped. You have no control.

It must be done. ;)

Wow, congrats!

To them both, and to you, for the nurturing environment...

Magna cum laude and summa cum laude...

Not to be sneezed at, for sure!

Are they in the same field?

:toast:


Oops, on edit: Chemistry, d'oh!
