The day started out with a ceremony, where each person being honored at the ceremony had a fellow CA introduce them and give some sort of 2 minute speech about them. It was a given that Jeff would choose one of his brothers. He of course chose the one that always has something funny to say, usually at some one else's expense. This was no exception. Mark presented Jeff and was short and sweet with his comments, of course he did have to throw one not so nice comment in there, but we won't mention what that was about.
The evening was a great big party, where everyone gets all dolled up for a 5 course meal followed by a dance. It started with everyone who passed the UFE being marched in by a bag piper. There were a couple of speeches and then the night began. I must admit, the food was pretty good, the evening was entertaining and the live band was old, but good. It was a great evening, well suited for such an exciting time in our lives.
I am so proud of Jeff and all the work he has done to get where he is. I am excited for him to be able to have options in his career path, and I can't wait until that time comes for him in a few months. He deserved this night for everyone to recognize him and his accomplishments and the future that he holds.
This is the only picture I could get of him before he left for the ceremony in the afternoon. He sure wasn't interested in posing.
The best picture I have of Mark presenting him.
From Left to Right:Farhan, Colleen, Trent, Louisa, Kim, Jeff (of course)
This is a group of people who also passed the test. With the exception of Kim, who was his "MENTOR" for the UFE exam. I think Jeff's definition of mentor is free lunches, and not much more than that.
Jeff is really lucky to have this group of people to work with, they are all so nice and it seems that they have a good time with each other.
