AT LONG LAST, GRADUATION | | |  | Graduate Howard Song celebrates earning his MD degree with partner Ann Montgomery, daughter Kai, 11, and son Aaryn, 9, outside Convocation Hall. Song began medical school in 1994 but interrupted the program to complete a PhD in medical biophysics. He admits it's been a long road, and that, like other graduates who balance school with family, he wouldn't have made it without their unconditional love and support.
