Graduation season always gives me bittersweet feelings.
They are sweet because I enjoy seeing the happy faces of graduates heading toward their next chapter. Even if they are mostly looking forward to a free summer, the graduates have a glow.
Families are usually gathered, some with balloons, others with plans for celebrations.
The Item usually publishes our collection of graduate photos at this time. This year, they are on our website, www.clintonitem.com. It is a massive undertaking in the best of times (the good-old days when we had more staff than me). Every year, as I get busier, I say this was the last year. This year, I have said it again.
