I wasn't even aware the picture existed. But now, I'm glad I found it.
Over the weekend I was putting together everything for my TV piece last night, which dealt with college students and how they're about to leave for the summer. In the course of it I mentioned that I was a college students at one time, and I wanted to include a picture of me in a cap & gown to go along with it.
I searched and searched for that particular shot, but as it turns out neither Loraine nor I ever scanned it into digital form. I did, however, come across a page I had scanned (but never edited) from one of my parents' photo albums. And that's when I came across this picture from my college graduation--
I really don't remember that day (other that it being a blur), so I don't recall this particular picture being take. But when I saw it I was glad it had been taken, as it pictures me and my grandparents on that fateful day. They were always big champions of mine, and while I can't speak for them over 30 years after the fact, I have the feeling looking at the shot that they were kinda proud.
I mean, if I had to guess, that's what I would guess.
So while I didn't find the picture I was looking for, I did find a picture that, at least in my mind, is a whole lot better.
Even if up until this past Sunday, I had no idea that it actually existed.

How did the picture fit into the TV piece? See for yourself--
