A great start before a turn for the worst...

We started early this morning and were seated by 8am for the President's Breakfast, which was extremely interesting. (I will post more about that separately) But frankly I am ready to start my graduate degree here Iam so impressed with this University!!

We were next on the bus to travel to campus for the tree planting ceremony and Veteran's ceremony.
I have some bad news. While taking photos, I managed to twist my knee and it still hurts pretty darn good -bad - whatever....
So I hobbled along at the back of the pack as we toured Bev's college of Letters and Sciences. Bev graduated in what would be today as Micro Biology. We were able to meet with the heads for the individual departments and listen to the graduates talk about their days there at MSC (yes, it was called Montana State College back them). 

We went to the Dean's luncheon after that. Every Dean from all the schools (is that the right description) spoke about their contributions and achievements to the University. (again, I will post more about that at a later date) But the University of Montana is a leader in the nation for Native American Studies, which is completely fascinating.

After lunch, Bev and I came back to the hotel. I have been down every since, except for a trip to Walmart for an Ace bandage, Advil, snap cool packs, ziploc bags for ice and some soup. I have to "cowgirl up" for tomorrow's ceremony and full day. I am just sick about this and not being able to escort Bev this evening for the dinner celebration. So I apologize for the "blah" entry. If anyone wants to come out and drive us back...we might be accepting applications! =)
 
And apparently Bev loves sitting on benches with strange men! Good night all! Send some healing thoughts this way please!
