I was wondering if anyone knows if the bleacher seating for graduation has hand rails for access.  My 78 year old mother would want to sit with family but I am concerned that I should look into handicap seating.  She does not consider herself handicap and has offered to not attend my sons graduation on 2/12.  Any information would be greatly appreciated.

no rails except in the front, they put the handicap ie, wheelchairs on the floor. First come first seat so get their early and just sit in the front. That is so sweet of her but she should not miss this. Have a ball, it is a GREAT DAY!
Are you planning on spending that Monday with your Sailor? I bet he is off that day - because it is President's Day!
Dennis is a Grad and Go. HIs last letter and call said he will leave RTC at 2 a.m. Saturday morning for the airport (which one unknown at this point) for Charleston for 'Nuc' School. He has been told he will have a short liberty after graduation and since we are local will come home for a few hours. He will need to be back on ship at 7 p.m. I am hoping they will allow me
to come to the airport to see him before he flys out.
My grandparents also have difficulty getting around, contact the PAO (Public Affairs Officer) at GL, she was a great help in finding a way for my grandparents to be there, including a handicap parking pass so they didn't have to walk a long way from the parking area to the PIR hall. She said that in the handicap seating area on the floor level they can only have one person sitting with them. She found other arrangements for my grandparents that will work well with our particular situation.
I let my mom decide and she does not want to use the wheel chair like she does for Cubs games. I really think she wants Dennis to see her standing tall at PIR. We will honor her wishes and make it happen.
