Just Looking at the Paper Makes Me Feel Old

Just remembering how we received empty diploma folders from who (?... Don Parr?) and had to return our caps and gowns to Smigelski's room where we traded them for the real diploma, provided there wasn't a hold on it for an unpaid fine. Then off to a party at Kathie Wagstaff's house for a late-night party with sometime girlfriend and future wife. Had to be up at 6:00am the next morning to drive to southern CA with friends Dave Graehl, Richard Earl and Paul Sommer. Spent two nights with Mrs. Gubler and hubby in Las Vegas, wore a'capella suits to see Casino de Paris (we wanted to look "older so we could get in"), spent two weeks in the sun at the beach, went to Tiajuana for switchblades, Olvera Street for taquitos, South Laguna for ladies, and saw Nitty Gritty Dirt Band at the Golden Bear before returning to reality. Ran into Dennis Siebenhaar and Brent Newton and "Jugger" in LA as I recall... somehow it didn't seem strange. So what did you do after graduation?
