It's fun to see happy people and it's especially fun for me to see people who are happy about getting an education. There were a lot of happy faces last night at the pinning of MCC's Nursing students from the three southern campuses. The graduates were happy; their families were happy; the faculty was happy. After it was over, I was happy to get off my feet after a couple of hours of creeping and crawling around the Relics and Rods Hall shooting photographs. There were a lot of good shots to be had, like when graduate Casey Waits, at left, received his pin from his mom. Casey later obliged me by interrupting eating cake with his loved ones to give me a smile and a thumbs up. I wouldn't mind seeing that face looking down at me in a hospital some day.
