Captain Samuel Lyman Grindstaff M.D.



We were able to go out to Maryland for Sams graduation. He became a Captain and a Doctor in the same day. His graduation was at the Dar (Daughters of the American Revolution) building, in Consitution Hall. Sams parents, his brother Scott and my Mom were also able to come out. Sams family got a MD and a MBA in the same day. Scott graduated on the 17th also but chose to be out with us (thanks Maggie). Scott thought that since Sam gets called Doctor he should be called Master and Commander, I don't think anyone will go for that one.

His graduation was really neat. It was awesome to be in the Nations Capital, it was also awesome that they only had one speaker for graduation. The Presidents own Marine Corps Band played during the graduation.

We are so proud of you Sam! I love the pictures. The one of Charlotte & Caleb in Sam's hat is so cute. We were with Grandma Potter when she got your graduation announcement and she couldn't be prouder! And she kept saying how handsome you are in the picture.
