M.D., J.D.

Yesterday Denny and Chris donned their graduation caps and gowns and posed together to mark the unusual occurrence of two major rites of passage in the Maher family within the week. Father and son, both recipients of hard earned degrees, make us all very proud. Their "high five" moment
stands in contrast to the whack-0 shot of their feet in the back yard dressed in official regalia from mid calf up. I'm sure they won't like this particular view but it was fun to photograph them together; great chemistry between these two.

And today, Sunday June 15 was Denny's day to be honored as he received his J.D. from the University of Washington School of Law. A grand Father's Day gift as well.

I shot some video of Denny crossing the stage to receive his diploma (below). I know Ed and Virginia, his parents would be so proud to see their son earn the second of two doctoral degrees. Ed always encouraged Denny to go into law but that wasn't in the cards until decades later. I know my Mom and Dad would have loved to see both Chris and Denny receive their diplomas this June and am sorry that it wasn't possible to have them join us for a close up view of the action. Thankfully there are photographs and videos to share.




To Dennis Patrick Maher, M.D., J.D. : Congratulations!
Now it's on to the Bar Exam; knock 'em dead!
