Is there a Doctor Present?

There IS another doctor in the House, joining the ever growing list of distinguished doctors of medicine that it has become our fortune to have married into (joining Mssr's Lameh, Khazeh, and Ghaneh Fananapazir).



The newest Dr. Fananapazir, as he expects the children to call him, is Dr. Nafeh (MY SON-IN-LAW!). He is a doctor of pediatrics. He graduated Friday from Vanderbilt University before a giantic crowd of about 2,000 well wishers there to witness the event (as well as to see the other 900 or more graduates, but they were of lesser importance).:-)


Yes, you are right, that is Nafeh waving on the jumbotron for all to see. Hi, Nafeh, you looked great!







Dr. Nafeh was "hooded" in a medical school ceremony, and true to his nature, kneeled in submission to be knighted (he also had to genuflect or the presenting Dr. couldn't have reached his neck!).









The doctors Fananapazir (Katrina also received her Nurse Practioner degree and was graduated Friday! WhooooHoooo) will now relocate to Cincinnati where Nafeh will begin his residency.







As is the Tyson family tradition, we try to involve as many family members as possible. In that this was an out-of-body experience for some (Lucia, Geoffrey and Roya) who are in Israel rode along with someone their own (current) size, Jameh.




Rosana, Alicia and Brian Green, Amelia, Brian and I, were happy to be a part of the big event, supporting Dr. Nafeh, Katrina, Jameh and Taleh. We know a lot of others wanted to be here and we missed everyone!

We all shouted a loud Huzah three times for Nafeh! (Well, we wanted too, we actually just gave him hugs and smiles. :-)

Please visit the Fananapazir blog for more details of this very exciting day.
