Jenny, you are very generous in your wisdom. Travis is right, too.

Although this photo highlights the clever use of what I think is white duct tape (or is it contact paper?), it also highlights achievement, hard work, and the effort and dedication that graduation represents for these graduates and their supporters. Forgive me for failing to offer congratulations to your son, Nate, his peers, and you and your family, Jenny. You guys rock.

It is standard grey duct tape, which, as it turns out, reflects well in a crowd. Apparently obtaining special tape would have taken too much effort late at night, but 3 years of frat life and 4 years of engineering studies made it easy to locate a roll of duct tape.

We were able to pick him out of thousands looking down on the field from the stands. So was the AP photographer.

Yeah I feel his pain.

5 years of college at a Big 10 university, starting a robotics team my freshman year, running it for 2 years and mentoring for 5, getting my degree in accounting with backgrounds in communications and Spanish (including translating multiple times in Atlanta) and I'm still looking for a job weeks after graduation.

Ms Jenny, wish him luck for me!
