It is so great to meet someone local. I go to Asheville usually at least once a week so maybe we can meet sometime for lunch or something. I could deliver your order in person :) I love stained glass and I have also done some of it as well. I took the class a couple years ago I just don't have a place to do it. So I usually have to do it outside  or go to the workshop where I took the class to do it. i have designed a few pieces myself and i think Navy themed stuff would sell well. I know of one other person doing some anchors and other stuff but her prices seemed a little high to me for the size. But I know how much time and money goes into it so maybe it was where it should be lol. I will check out your site. I look forward to hearing from you. Send me a friend request and we can share our numbers :) Talk soon, Lora

Hi Imcbwnc - nope not sure who is on #249 yet.  Just really getting started with knowing where my SR is lol.  I am hoping to hear from my SR today sometime maybe.  I know he has made a call this morning to his girlfriend but I talked to him Thursday for about 20 min so I may not get one today lol.  

Alright!!  So glad to hear that.  When are ya'll heading there? We are leaving from here on that Monday morning early and driving.  Will stay until Friday hoping to spend some time with him before he goes to A school.  Hope to meet you and good luck to you and your son!!! I am with you there on seeing our sailors!!

Hi ya.  by now u have his box and address.  My hand is wearing out writing letters.  I write one a day.  Booked the navy lodge for 3 days.  Now looking at ways to get there.  I may take MegaBus, since it has a very low fare for the holiday of July 4th.  Airlines are steadily going up in price each day, and so has Amtrak and greyhound.  I am going to take Megabus instead of drive since I am older.  54.  Have diabetes and neuropathy.  Trying to find a good city bus that goes from Union Station to Great Lakes on the 2nd.  The fare from Ohio to Ill..for one adult round trip is 70.  Good deal.  Ok, welcome aboard and nice that u are a friend!~ Becky

If you have any questions, feel free to ask in one of the groups or in a comment on my page.  As it gets closer to time for your future Sailor to ship, be sure to check out the
