My eldest nephew, Daniel RosenHanst (my only sister has three sons) graduated on Friday from Pratt Institute here in New York. It was an outdoor ceremony, and it POURED the entire time, and it was colder than I was expecting, so i was freezing the entire time!

Daniel (and his youngest brother, Edward) are both talented painters. (The middle brother, Joshua, is a mathematician, studying at his dad's alma mater, the New Jersey Institute of Technology - they live in "the Garden State") Danny's girlfriend, Victoria, who was born in the former Soviet Union, also graduated. She's a sculpture, who, ironically, discovered in her freshman year that she's allergic to Dan's preferred medium, oil paints.

I wrote a poem in honor of the occasion, posted in my Gallery a "To Danny", with one of his paintings to illustrate it.

I also suggested that he get himself a deviantArt account.
