Well, I could go on, but I think you see the trend in dates.  If there
are any particular schools you're interested in, you can add the
school name to the search term given below and it should come right
up, or if you'd like me to confirm it, let me know via a Request for
Clarification and I'll find them for you.

You have provided me with only seven (7) schools' grauation dates. I
could have found these myself in 15 minutes or less. The reason for my
request is to determine the best time for a family reunion in June
that would involve travel of family members from ten different states
to Boston or Hartford,CN. The idea is not to conflict with travel for
graduations. I think I should have the dates for at least 25 schools
across the country.

Hello again:

I was away from my computer and did not see your clarification request
until just now.  I will have 25 additional schools for you in the next
few hours.

Thank you for your patience.
