I admit that I did not get the best pictures throughout the day - definitely do not do the day justice! The convocation began at 10:00am under a tent near the engineering building at USC in Columbia. Will graduated with Honors, Cum Laude BS in Chemical Engineering.
After the convocation we headed back to Aiken for a reception Marie had planned at their church. It was a drop in from 3-5. A couple in the church volunteered to cater it and did a wonderful job decorating and fixing the food. They even made Gamecocks' ties to wear so they looked official when serving! (I put a picture in the slide show of them with Will.) It was really cute. A good number of his friends came and honored him. Marie also had a couple of his friends who worked at Pfizer with him make videos congratulating him as a surprise.
I think you all have heard by now that he begins his job at SRS on June 14 as an engineer. They have made some tremendous sacrifices over the last several years but have worked hard and show great determination and "Stick-to-itivness" in attaining the goal.
We are proud of you Will - and Marie, Katelyn and Morgan. We know that the Lord will continue to bless your faithfulness to Him. God bless you as you begin this next phase of LIFE!

Congradtulations Will! Enjoy the time with family. Wish we could have been there to celebrate with you all.
Thank you guys for all the prayers (at least I hope:), and thank you all for the diploma frame-even though you haven't given your mom the money yet BEN. I'm sure it is going to look nice in my office.
Peace,
William
Way to go Will! We're so proud of all of you. You've been an inspiration to us as we've watched your family during these years...so proud of you! And the girls looked so pretty! Especially loved Morgan's dress! You girls look so grown up! Aw!
