Naturalization Ceremony for Emmanuel Momjian and Mari Jananian at the EVLA.

Emmanuel Momjian is a member of the NRAO scientific staff who is from Syria. He and his wife Mari Jananian, also from Syria, became U.S. citizens in a ceremony held at the EVLA site on Sept. 21, 2011. The ceremony was conducted by Peter Rechkemmer and Patti JMK Reynolds of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. A large number of members of the NRAO staff and other friends attended. This is a selection of the photos that I took at the ceremony and the antenna tour given to Ms Reynolds afterward. I was sitting too close, with too long a lens mounted, to get much of the actual ceremony.
