Today was Clarence's graduation from Nashville Auto-Diesel College. He started the program 13 months ago after he was laid off from the job he held at Ingram Book for 10 years. I am so glad this day has finally come, but it does seem like he started just yesterday. Clarence worked very hard and earned the honor of valedictorian. Today we were able to share in this special day with family and friends. I was so glad to see all of his family as I'm sure he was. My parents and our friends Kelli and Steve joined us as well. Clarence was presented with the valedictorian medal and delivered a great speech. He was nervous of course; there were over 300 graduates and their families and friends there... What would you expect?! So, here are some pictures from our afternoon.
