It's a dream come true. Christopher has graduated from the University of Missouri with a Bachelor of Arts in English. To help him celebrate the occasion, Chris and Jennifer held a BBQ in his honor at their house in Columbia. We made the trip in from St. Louis and other family and friends were there to share the moment. Congratulations Christopher! |

The Boys! Somehow the blue shirt was the dress code of the day. |

Chris' long time friend Lance and his friend Angela. The guy lurking in the back is Paul, a fellow soccer player. Paul likes the "clean" look. |

One of the few pictures I got of my man Clayton. He seemed to make himself pretty scarce for most of the day. Cherie is making friends with the killer dog. |
|
More lovely ladies... Jennifer, Paula and Marianne. |

It got chilly towards the evening. Jennifer had enough sense to put on a jacket while the macho guys pretend their not cold. The good looking guy in the foreground is Mark. The butt on the right belongs to the graduate. |

Brothers! |

Arno is entertaining the two youngsters while Chris is contemplating his future. |

I used to play soccer with Chris V. (far right) when he was just a young lad. Even though he still has his youthful good looks, he's no longer playing the U21. That's his daughter and Charlie's babysitter Emily sitting next to him. |

Mother pitted against daughter in a game of washers. Cherie wanted everyone to know that she won this match. |
|
The boys are at it here. Even though Chris shows near perfect form here, the team of Arno Sr. and Paul emerged as the champs this day. |
