Event DescriptionTo meet on the 'west' side in February -- at Ivars's Acres of Clams next to the watrerfront -- Easy to get to from the Ferry, or by transit - or parking even.
Plan to have lunch or a snack (they serve steak and chicken along with seafood items) -- and meet many new friends
Please RSVP on the Event invite so I know how many to reserve real seats for -- I would like to do a couple of cards for the strike group that is out to sea - so let me kow what ship your sailor is on (if they are gone now so I can be sure that is covered.
Talked to your mother and Uncle Randy today and was sad to hear you have had a run in with something hard. I hope the hip is getting better.
You know I went through boot camp twice, once as a Reservist, and then when I got out of the reserves, I went to boot camp again. While I was there, the second time, I got pneumonia, Bronchial Pneumonia to be exact, high fever, everything. My company commander thought I was trying to pull something and told me I had better be sick, or I would be sick when I got back. Well I was sick, 105 temp, spent 2 weeks in Sick Bay. I didn’t get to graduate with my class.
I remember while I was in sick bay, I would go over to an empty ward and lay on an empty bunk and watch the people go by out side the fence. It was like I was in Jail. Sick and in jail, kind’a depressing. I’m not that religious but I did talk to a chaplain. I don’t know if it did me any good, but it seemed like a good idea at the time.
But, I did find out, after boot camp, that there is life after boot camp, and looking back on my entire 4 years, I am sorry I didn’t stay in for 20, I could have retired at 38, kinda young to be getting a retirement check every month, but it would sure come in handy in my old age.
Hang in there I am so proud of you, and your sister. I know you will make this a positive experience. I tell every one that you are in the Navy, and I’m looking for a bumper sticker so I can tell the world.
We love you and look forward to seeing you. Please send photos.
Love
Sir and Grandma Sharon
