9 June 2012
Senator Glenn was gracious enough, to not only shake everyone's hand, but take a few minutes with everyone to talk and take pictures. He seemed much younger than 92.
We finally got to see where Steve has spent the last 2 years of his life.
A beautiful campus and facility.
Steve's biggest cheerleader!
What is a Buckeye?
The Ohio State University buckeye mascot gives us no clue!
The buckeye candy is indigenous to the state of Ohio and is a confection made from a peanut butter mixture which is partially dipped in chocolate, named for the resemblance of the nut from the Ohio State tree, the Buckeye.
2012 graduates of the John Glenn School of Public Affairs
Ainsley meeting the the first astronaut to orbit the earth; Senator John Glenn and his wife Ann.
Unbeknownst to Steve, he was chosen by his peers to receive...
the Mary E Katchmar Outstanding Service Award, recognizing his "selfless giving to others without expectations of compensation or acknowledgment".
After Senator Glenn spoke, Steve received his Master's of Public Administration. It was fun that he was the first one across the stage, but Ainsley was the one to steal the show. Even the kilt could not out-do her cuteness.

Steve, Kristen and Ainsley...a family of Buckeyes.
Steve with his proud parents.
Kristen, Steve, Mr. Buckeye Julie, Derrall and his sister Cheryl. We are glad that we were able to be with Steve and his family on this special ocassion.
Goodbye Ohio State University.
