Graduation Day for Katie


Katie and Grandpa Moore spend a special moment with each other.


The Moore kids can't resist goofing around during photo takes!


They do have a serious side to them. Katie is a great example to her siblings.


She is the first of our grandchildren to graduate from college.


What a beautiful day for a graduation ceremony!

Today we watched our granddaughter Katie receive her diploma from the Marriot School of Business at BYU. A speaker at the graduation ceremony gave some interesting statistics. One of them was this: the School of Accounting at BYU is ranked at #5 in the nation. (Katie's degree is in Accounting.)

Needless to say, we are so very happy for her success. She has acheived the goals she set for herself at BYU. Katie is not only an excellent student, but also a very kind, compassionate, and thoughtful young lady.

Katie and Eric are leaving in two weeks to spend the summer in Dallas, Texas, where Eric has an internship. They will come back to BYU after the summer for Eric to finish his last year at BYU.

Today is a happy day. Everywhere we looked, we saw the smiling parents and grandparents. How thrilling it is to see your child or grandchild earn a university education.
