Yes, Master

Way to go Grandpa!! Yesterday my grandpa, who I call Poppy, graduated from UMSL with his Masters in Music Education. This makes him the most recent master in the family. (Although I still hold the title of Star, which over rides a master any day!) Not only is he a Master, but is was also the Graduate School Marshal. HE was chosen from all the graduate students to carry the fancy banner and represent his class in the ceremony. He thinks he is Mr. fancy Pants because that meant he got to have lunch with the Provost, Vice Provost and some other big wigs. I guess he is pretty special.... We are so proud of you Poppy! - Love, Maddy
