Holly I'm sorry for the delay, but I finially replied to your email. Hope to hear from you soon. =)
I hope everyone here is doing well. I assume us, moms and/or girlfriends/wives, will be coming on here more often since they are underway again. I'm looking forward to 'talking' to you ladies again.

HOLLY- It was my son that sold his (used to be his) Saturn to your son. I agree it that the color of the car is a reddish auburn, rather than purple. A lot of the guys on the boat use to 'tease' my son about his purple car. So, he started referring to it as purple. From what I know our 'boys' are the best of friends. I had send a friend request to you. I had meant to write a message mentioning my suspicion that you were the mom I was looking for, but I mistakenly pressed send before doing so. I hope you might be interested in private messaging or talking over the phone sometime. I hope to hear from you. Take care. =)
*Sorry about the typo in the previous message. It should read " unforgettable and proud moment.
**I hope all you ladies have a wonderful day! -Take care everyone. =D

No purple car, but I wanted to add how nice it is to hear about all the positive events in your sailors' lives. My son is anxiously waiting to hear about his next assignment. I'm sure he will miss the crew on the Alex.

Not my son Rebecca K....he would never have anything purple. :) Me on the other hand.... Should be easy to find, I imagine not many of those cars.

I'm looking for the mom of my son's best friends. I would like to really get to know you & possibly become especially close friends ourselves. I have a name, but for security reasons I don't want to disclose it. My question that would help find the mom I'm looking for is this. Did your son buy a manual 'purple'Saturn not to long ago? I have a suspicion who it my be. =) Please message me when you have the chance.
*P.S. By the way, I enjoy the the friendship from all you ladies in this group!! =D
