My Russian Tutor Daniil Pleshkov graduated summa cum laud today from CSU with a B.S. in Marketing: an accomplishment earned with much dedication and hard work.

The event was in the Wolstein Center
I drove Daniil and the three ladies down in Вадим (our 2013 VW Tiguan), we dropped him off, parked and went in.
Elgar’s ‘Pomp and Circumstance’ always waters my eyes, and the ceremony was enlightening because of the many who earned their degrees the hard way…

The companion became the student, and I studied Russian and Quantum Mechanics.
