    Hi, "Karen60".... I'm sorry not to have given you a proper welcome to Indiana Moms sooner than this, but have been very busy with Indianapolis' Navy Week.  I'm the administrator for the group, so if you have any questions, please ask.

    My son is a Nuke MM serving on the submarine USS Alabama, based out of Bangor, WA. He's been in for five years.

     If you're willling to drive, there's a monthly informal dinner in Avon (on the west side) which meets on third Mondays. Click Sept 19 on the Events calendar (right-hand column) for next month's details.  From time to time, we also have regional gatherings in various parts of the state. 
     

    Jump in with any questions or comments you may have. I think you'll find we're a nice bunch of folks and always willing to lend an ear to listen or a shoulder to cry on. Hugs! k.

    Karen, there's another new Indiana Mom, Tammy (Gar's mom), whom you might get to know.  Sounds like both your sons went to BC at the same time, and both are headed to Monterrey!

    So sorry to hear of your husband.  My best friend was suddenly widowed seven years ago (with an 11- and 9-yr-old).  It has been difficult for her at times, but she has great kids who have made the going worth the struggle.

    I promise to keep you informed of weekend events and look forward to meeting you!  Hugs, k.
