Sixteen years ago, we started a tradition of taking our graduates out to dinner before they leave for college. Mark and I are so proud of this group of young women and we were blessed to have them on staff for several years; some as long as four! This is such an exciting time of your lives; enjoy it and be safe.
Second pic is proof they tried the escargot—another Rita's tradition.
