Life in Lake Jackson, Texas viewed and photographed by one citizen who spends his time with Methodists and Democrats mostly
Graduating before the Pandemic – and After
Such a joyous occasion. Families and friends crowded onto football fields and into auditorium lobbies. The hard work has paid off with a treasured piece of paper (or parchment as you move beyond high school), the smiles, tears, and congratulations of adoring parents, extended family and friends.
That’s the way it was. And, who knows, maybe it will be that way again.
Now our graduates are treated to celebrations like this.
We line them up in the church parking lot and friends drive by and hand them cards and gifts of congratulations. They honk their horns. They smile, they cheer. They do everything but touch.
And if you made it out of A&M, you may even get a treat like this one.
I volunteered many years as a photographer for Brazosport Center Stages, our local community theater. I have opinions about politics and believe it is every American's duty to be informed, to participate in the discussion of issues, and to vote. I hope to be able to share photographs and information relating to cultural and political events in our community. I am retired after a career in social work and post-secondary education. I enjoy friendships with people of many faiths and political persuasions. However, in my life I have developed a particular fondness for United Methodists and Democrats. But we are all in the fight for justice together.
