Summer Graduation for Native PSU Students

Was honored to give the "welcome" last night to the 3 Native summer graduates; one family from Navajo...I have not heard that much "Navajo" since I left Flag... a guy name f who is male but really looks like a Navajo woman...9 members of his family came from the rez. One man was from Houch where my dad is buried...so seeing a family of Navajo's the eve of my dad's anniversary of his death was touching...I saw sheep in the San Juan Island the day he was born and now today is when he died in 1973!!!! Circles and more circles...it is a fall day for sure...much cooler. I read them a poem "Beauty All Around Me".
