It’s been quite a while since I’ve attended a high school graduation ceremony. I’m hoping I can attend one this year as my grandson graduates. I know plans have been getting changed and rearranged with the dropping of some COVID restrictions.
Hopefully, new plans will shake out that will not include the drive-up diploma pickup, highlighted by a trip to the Dairy Queen for an Oreo Blizzard.
When our grandson was a little guy, I remember thinking ahead to the year he would graduate. My wife and I recognized with some distress that the year 2021 would also be 50 years since we graduated in 1971.
