Sally successfully defended her PhD in April and Luis completed his MD/PhD. We were returning to NYC for the official ceremonies. Sunday we grabbed some oysters at Dock’s for happy hour then out for dinner with Sally, Luis, and Luis’ parents Enid and Luis, who were also in town for graduation. It was a wonderful opportunity to meet Sally’s future in-laws and we had a tasty Peruvian dinner at Pio Pio. Katie arrived from Boston just in time for dessert.
The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences that awards PhD’s had their ceremony Monday morning at the Beacon Theater on the upper west side so the Levinsons and Luis watched eagerly as each student was awarded their PhD. (Luis’ already had received his PhD a year earlier). This was the first of two ceremonies we attended - the second was the all university graduation ceremony Wednesday morning at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. We had a beautiful sunny day for this open air ceremony and while we waited for the event to begin, Harry managed to get a personalized congratulatory message on the Yankee jumbotron for all to see. We were so proud of both graduates and so happy for them at having completed their respective programs of study. We celebrated Sally and Luis’s achievements with a bar-b-que on the roof of their apartment building along with other friends and fellow graduates.
