Austin's UCLA Medical School Graduation May 31, 2013

Congratulations to Austin and Rachel, on Austin's graduation from UCLA Medical School.
This was an exciting and proud day for me--I made sure we were all there plenty early, navigating through hours of clogged Westside LA Freeway traffic.

The graduation ceremony was held at an outdoor venue on campus;
some baking in the sun preceded the processional pomp.

 Christian and Katie brought Bennett and Dylan.
Bennett is especially attached to Rachel, and asks about her all the time.
 Grandpa Steve and Grandma Marion came with us.
Marion still recovering from a surgery but never complaining!.
 Lots of picture taking after the ceremony.
Rachel's family was there in force, Brian on the left in this shot.
 Austin on the podium, receiving his diploma and graduate degree hood.

Afterwards, we  Austin and Rachel put on a great party, held at the cultural hall in the UCLA ward building.  Greg and Jillair, Clark and Jill, Lindsey and Brandon, were all there; also many of Austin and Rachel's friends came from near and far.
Love and congratulations to Austin and Rachel.
