Happy Grad School Graduation anniversary to me. 🎓

Some years ago in Baltimore I finally put grad school in my rear-view mirror. I had worked 20+ part-time and 3 full-time jobs to get there. I treated myself to two ceremonies: one for Johns Hopkins and one for Peabody Conservatory.

An unexpected highlight was getting to meet James Van Allen, discoverer of Earth’s radiation belts. He was awarded an honorary doctorate by JHU that day so, in a way, he’s my classmate.

🍾 Semper sint in flore!
