Great-grandparents not included

A great-granddaughter formally graduated from high school last night.  She has been a successful soccer midfielder, drummer and singer.  She has very high marks.  She is a model person in many ways.

The public town high school includes appropriately aged students from several nearby communities.  The graduation ceremony was available on television and we saw her accept her diploma. My wife and I are great-grandparents and are not sufficiently central to the graduate’s family to have a ticket into the ceremony itself. There are too few seats for graduates to have more than 5 guests.  Parents, siblings and close relatives alone can easily come to more than 5.
