Graduation Day Adventures: A Humorous Reflection from Husky Stadium

Join me as I recount the memorable day of my graduation from the University of Washington at Husky Stadium on June 11, 2005. Despite not being in most of the photos, I set the tone for a whimsical celebration overshadowed by unexpected rain. Robert Rubin, Clinton’s Treasury Secretary, was the speaker, and I reflect on the irony of a graduation in Seattle without a covered venue. From embarrassing wardrobe malfunctions to showcasing my "Masters in Engineering (Manufacturing)", this narrative captures the spirit of a remarkable day filled with humor and camaraderie.

  1. The Graduate June 11, 2005 Husky Stadium – University of Washington

  2. The Grads enter the Stadium. Don’t look too hard for me. I’m not in this shot. I’m just setting the tone.

  3. Look carefully…do you see me?.... NO! Cuz I’m not in this shot either!

  4. …And then it rained…It was a wonderful day for an umbrella festival

  5. Robert Rubin, Clinton’s Treasury Secretary was the Speaker

  6. All the money you guys charge us to get an education here and you cheap bastards can’t even spring for a covered venue for graduation! You’d think it never rained in Seattle!! You probably spent all the money on Rubin! Courtney Love would have been cheaper…and more entertaining

  7. Yes, here I am again…but you could see that right?

  8. This is clearly a lucky shot. I don’t think Sydney had any idea of where I was…or she did a really bad job of framing me in the shot. Me

  9. Another splendid shot…”maybe if I get everybody in he’ll show up somewhere…” Me

  10. A week later I thought I should pose on our deck for better shots before posting this to the web.One thing I didn’t mention was the horribly humiliating event that transpired the previous week during Commencement…

  11. …That’s right! A costume malfunction! The rain weakened the glue joint so much that a gust of wind tore my hat asunder! Oh the Humanity! I had to walk across stage looking like one of the boys from the “hood”. The irony was that I received a Masters in Manufacturing…and I was undone by a hat made in Mexico…

  12. The “geisha” shot – best if you can waft your mortar board like a fan…

  13. What the well dressed grad wears.Me walking down the runway modeling the “Masters in Engineering (Manufacturing)” orange hood

  14. I couldn’t live a lie – it’s all “acting”! I’m wearing my swim suit underneath.

  15. The “Official” photographer took these. I don’t know how they figured out to send these to me. I didn’t sign anything.
