I'm hoping to be there to meet everyone. I'm tring to make a trip that week to SC to see family. I haven't seen my son in 9 months and it looks like he won't be home soon. We all miss him and I know, you all know how I feel. It would be so nice to talk to all of you. I've been with the Navy all my life and I still can't get used to loved ones being gone. Thank you Paulette for putting this together. Love to all aout there from MiMomGoingCrazy

Hi all Wow June is comming fast. Actually might evan be warm by then. here is the all the info for the 27th. dinner at the bavarian Inn at ^pm. I will give them a mopre accurate count the closer we get to the 27th. We should have a very good turn out judging by the responces. As Trina said there are not many rooms left so I hope you all made reservations. Ther are also 2 campgrounds near by for the more adventurous amoung us. Also Saginaw is not that far away if you can not get rooms in Frankenmuth. There are also some B&B's if you go onto the Frenmuth web site. I set up dinner so everyone will oder and pay for their own. That way we did not have to leave a deposit. I hope that is ok with all. I plan to get to the Inn a bit before 6 to greet everyone and see that they have it all together for us. We should have a great time. See you all there.
also for those mom's with sons/daughters in the Altlantic Fleet it is 'Fleet Week" in New York this week and almost all of the news shows are showing the sailors so hope you get a glimps of yours.
See ya all in JUNE....

Hello All...Our son is graduating from OCS next week, although he was a prior enlistee who was on one of the first ships to get sent to the Middle East after 9/11. My husband and I lived in the Saginaw area for many years, now we are in the Grand Rapids area. We may come June 27.
