My oldest graduates .....

My oldest granddaughter, Miss Kaya Overholtzer graduated recently from Champlain College in (way up there) Burlington, Vermont. Within a matter of weeks, Kaya, with her degree in Digital Forensics, and a minor in Criminal Law, will be relocating to Chicago to take on a position with the international consulting firm, Charles River Associates.

 

A delightful, quaint picture below of her noted college found hanging on a wall. The current campus covers over an eight-block area of downtown with a large contemporary, modern administration courtyard at it’s center.

A family dinner was held aboard the Spirit of Ethan Allen, while cruising out upon Lake Champlain. In the distorted distance below, an early evening view of the Adirondack mountains of upper New York state.

 

 

 

Two days later, I found myself in an isolation ward at the University of Vermont's Medical Center. I had left Florida with a slight upper respiratory issue due to what I thought were seasonal allergies. 

After the fourth day, I wasn't doing so well. The Urgent Care at the University’s Medical Center admitted me on the concerns that I might have Covid. Thankfully eight hours later, the RSV-PCR test results proved negative. Without the need for further quarantine, and the possibility of public isolation etc gone, that following morning I could actually fly home.

 

But again, so proud of our Kaya. She’s off to a great start.  (photo provided by my daughter, Crete)
