On Thursday, August 2, Ben had his white coat ceremony. It was really fun to see the whole class of 2011. Everyone was so excited and the program was really nice.
Doesn't he look so handsome!?! The nametag says "Benjamin Richardson - Student Doctor"
This is when they announced his name and put his coat on.
Then he walked across the stage and shook the Dean's hand and the President's hand. They are all really nice people.
During the opening ceremony on Tuesday, July 31, one of the speakers got up and said how there are so many differences in the students of the class and how one of the students served in the War in Iraq, and a few are surfers. And then he said that there is one student who has five boys. The whole crowd oohhed and awhed. And then he said, "God help him." Everyone laughed and laughed. There are actually quite a few students who have children. It is really exciting and everyone is so nice. It's not hard to believe that Ben has already made a name for himself and classes haven't even started yet. They start on Monday, August 6!

Yea! I remember Parker's white coat ceremony and I was so proud of him too! There was so much hope in his eyes...now he just looks tired! But he's really loving it! Good luck Ben, you'll do great.
Great post! I love the story about Ben having five boys- I think I have told it a million times! Who would have ever thought that Doctor and Richardson would go together? Not in this family! Good luck Ben. We are all very proud of you.
Great pictures! Birch had his white coat ceremony this weekend. I was so proud and he hasn't even done anything yet! We definitely miss you guys. The ward remembers you often--good luck!
