"Audience participation is mandatory,'' he said. "It's imperative our friends in Waterford and across the river in Groton hear us today.''
But the crowd was well ahead of him. At the first sight of green caps and gowns approaching the end zone, a roar went up, accompanied by bells and air horns, and did not stop until all 156 graduates were standing at their seats.
