| My daughter, Lucinda Lowe Radford, graduated yesterday from Tusculum College, Cum Laude I might add! :~) She has a BS in Organizational Management with emphasis on finance. |

temperature and white balance ☺ )

| What is it about those beautiful and haunting strains of a bagpipe? I had tears in my eyes within seconds of the beginning of the event! The sacred occasion began with Jon Shell and his student, Ben Pollard, entering and playing these Scottish Pipes. I agree with a writer who wrote that the sounds from bag pipes gives him "glory bumps". Me, too. Jon Shell told me he had been playing the pipes here since he was twelve years old. |

| Clint and I agreed, there was such beautiful scenery on the drive to the college in Greenville, Tennessee. I don't know how many times I said, "what a great scene/house for a painting". I love this old rural scene, one that is becoming rarer these days. |

| Lucinda's friend, Debbie McCoy, who gave a commencement address as a representative of the Class of 2011. They had classes together. |

| The Andrew Johnson Museum on the ground of beautiful Tuculum College. Tusculum is the oldest college in Tennessee and was founded in 1794 by the Rev. Hezekiah Balch. Tuculum's beginnings began then when it was first named Greeneville College. |
