Waiting patiently as the stands & seats fill up...

Dr. Ángel Cabrera, Georgia Tech president, fellow alum, and fellow Spaniard, gives opening remarks.

Clarence William "Bill" Nelson II, American politician and attorney serving as the administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, who also served as a Payload Specialist on Space Shuttle Columbia's STS-61-C mission from January 12 to 18, 1986, gave the commencement address. He spoke of "moonshots," of reaching high and achieving greatness.

Heading toward the stage...

Celia had met Dr. C on a few occasions. He recognized her as they shook hands, even!
