Pilar's Graduation

Two weeks ago, my wife and I were in College Station, TX for the graduation of an "adopted" daughter of ours. Pilar is from Equatorial Guinea, and has just graduated with a degree in Geoscience. We are so proud of her: she came to this country knowing no one, and not knowing a word of English.

In the time since she's arrived, she's created a strong network of supportive friends, learned the language AND the culture, and excelled in her studies. A very impressive young woman. We met her when our daughter became friends with Pilar. She spent some holidays with us, becoming part of the family in the bargain (we got the good end of that bargain!).

Naturally, I had to pull out the camera and get a few fun shots:





Congratulations, Pilar! We're proud of you.
