Hi, thank you for emailing me. I am very close to Cameron as well. He has lived with me,on Cape Cod, for 8 summers.. We have bonded from day one. I loved having every summer wtih him. When Cameron told me he was joining the navy, I was very proud of him. He made this decison on his own. He knew he needed to do something with his life and found this. He is going to be a corpsman. My late husband (17 years ) would have been proud of him as he was an er doc and his mother Jana is a pacu nurse.
Where are you staying for graduation?. We are at the Ramada. If you are there I am sure we will meet. . Keep your fingers crossed for battle stations. Be well, Ann-Beth
