Now that we are home, I can write a bit about Claire's graduation day. The weather was beautiful - upper 70s and sunny and not too terribly humid with puffy clouds in a blue sky. Three honorary degree recipients spoke - one from the class of '43 (when Goucher was all women) who took a secret course in cryptology, then went on to work for the WAVES division of the Navy to handle decoded communications intercepted from the German navy. The main speaker and honorary degree recipient, Charles F. Bolden, Jr., is the first African-American to head up NASA. His speech was funny and relevant.
Claire received a bachelor's hood as part of her regalia, a surprise for us all since none of us got one at our graduations.
