Lubi stayed with me at the Hotel Durant. Built in the 1920s, it’s a fine historic place one and a half blocks from the Telegraph entrance to campus. Proud, dressed up parents of Berkeley graduates have been staying at the Hotel Durant for generations. The staff looked like kids randomly chosen from the line at Top Dog next door but in fact everything about the service was a-one. So impressive in fact that I even filled out the comment form.
Melissa and Melinda and two of Travis’s friends met us at the hotel early in the am so we could walk over to the graduation all together.
