I just know how much you will treasure them. I saw you from a distance at Britmums, so I look forward to following you and getting to know you!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3596026357087182485.post-79513281297983400832012-06-13T03:55:05.953-07:002012-06-13T03:55:05.953-07:00By the time I went there in the 80s, undergraduate...By the time I went there in the 80s, undergraduates only needed their gowns for formal dinners - we didn't have to walk or bike around town wearing them.

So clever of your dad to realize that these details would be so appreciated!MsCarolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03623997911568143459noreply@blogger.com
