Dad's induction into Phi-Theta-Kapa

Today was Dad's induction into Phi-Theta-Kapa! Without the formal induction..... It was only a luncheon and reception. But it was nice to meet some of those who have been instrumental in helping Dad be able to complete his degree on time.

This was a half Boston Cream and half chocolate cake.YUMMMMY!
The food was scrumptious! As you can see there was a complete white-out as soon as the food was served! There was only about an inch of ground coverage though.
Dean Talley has been very instrumental in Dad's being able to complete all of the courses in time for him to graduate this Spring! Thank you Greg!
We shared traffic ticket stories. He had some interesting ones, especially considering he is a retired Police Chief, OOPS, hahahaha!!!
What a wonderful man! No wonder all of the faculty and students LOVE him as well as anyone who has ever worked with him at church! He is a great leader as well as teacher in and out of church!!
Jason has also been greatly instrumental in getting him through! He was a student at SUNY when Dad first became the engineer there, but they never met. He had Dad on such a pedistal because of his reputation with all of the students for his ability to fix anything! So when Dad became one of his students, Jason could hardly believe it! 
So proud of my adorable eternal companion! The book in his hand is a door prize he won! he traded it for a book which was more interesting to him, "The Little Book of Answers." Grampa Siglin once had a radio show called, "The Answer Man" and he used books like this to get his answers before the show. I was all set up before hand what the DJ would ask him and then he would give the answers after people called in to give their answers. He had a blast doing it! So this book is bit of nostalgia. :-)
This man had something to do with the Phi-Theta-Kapa, but we are not sure what it was.
The day went from clear to snow to clear to snow to clear. What an interesting day!!
