D.C. was much nicer than I imagined. We rode the Metro the next day which was much better than the joke of a light rail we have here in Sacto.

[steveo]

ping for you.

A great big congratulations The same kid that lost her lunchboxes, forgot books needed for homework, - your darling Dr. Daughter gives me hope for my little girl, smart as can be but at times...

[randog]

Good for you and your daughter! Lots of newly minted sheepskin-holders headed off to the french fry vats about this time of year; always good to see a young ‘un that done well.

Congrats to your family!

Great post!

Congratulations. You should be bursting with pride.

You are right on with your observations about our Nation’s Capital. I was stationed there in 1962, and have visited at least once a year since. Always awe inspiring.

Wouldn’t want to live there, however. The traffic is insane.

Congratulations!

[Zuben Elgenubi]

Sincere congratulations, steveo.

[silverleaf]

Congratulations! And thanks for posting those great pictures.

I will remember your words and pride as my DD forgets her homework, loses her school snacks, and hides dog biscuits under her pillow.

[Coldwater Creek]

Congratulations. I know just how proud you must feel. Went through with the kids, and now grandkids.

[freekitty]

Congratulations to you and your daughter.

[gpapa]

Kudos to your daughter and you steveo. My own daughter makes me proud to be a grandpa.

[Ramius]

Most excellent and rightful excuse for a vanity! :-)

What branch of service? Is there a plan already for where she’s going? Pardon my ignorance of how this works but is there some sort of “residency” or such that graduates go through?

[good old days]

The same kid that lost her lunchboxes, forgot books needed for homework, and kept a half full Thermos of rotten milk over Easter vacation. She’s now ready to heal. She has changed immensely, it’s interesting to me when she looks at me with her ‘Doctor Eyes’ when she says “howz it going dad?”

This gives me hope! ;)

Congratulations, and thank you for posting!

[McLynnan]

This was no small feat on her part! You must be prouder than words can say. Did this part give you the shivers — “Whispering they were told ‘Physician, step forward’”? Add the Marine Band and this is the stuff of serious parental choking up.

D.C. is very nice, isn’t it? I lived in the area for nine years and it was nothing like I had imagined. I loved it.

My daughter starts pharmacy school in August and will have her doctorate in four years. I know I’ll be bawling like a baby when she walks across the stage. Maybe I can ping you for advice on keeping my act together in public.

[Kirkwood]

Con-grad-ulations! What will she do her residency in? Hate to tell you, but she probably still has another 3 years to go and maybe a 4th with a fellowship.

[paterfamilias]

Hearty congratulations to you, your family, and your daughter, and best of luck to her as she begins her career. And please, thank her for her service to her fellow man, and to our country.
