I know Pat had asked about how to maybe divide up the boxes. I am not sure where the happy spot might be for all the ships. I know that majority of the boxes will be shared. Which is fine, I think it will add to the fun. I was thinking that we need to get the box count for the main group on the Lincoln up. They will be sharing boxes and it will at least give them a better ratio of sailors/box. Just my thinking. I will go with what everyone thinks is best.

I have gotten some word from Tobias (contact) and he has thing well in hand for the plan on his end of this endeavor. He has just now clued in the smaller detachment contacts and has asked they all keep things secret. I still think they are going to just be in awe when all those boxes start arriving. He has a plan in place so that the junior sailors will get boxes first. He wants everyone to have fun but he also wants to make sure the young guys get the fun first. Just so happy right now. My pills work on my head and I am all teary eyed. I will be sending the Mayor's letter nicely framed and include in the same box some custom made beads. They are for those that Tobias feels can really use the memento to take with them. They are special MAS creations and each is unique. I may have been unable to walk but I can still keep my hands busy when my brain does wake up. lol. Wonderful happy thoughts to all. I am so proud to be a Molly Mom and know so many amazing women!

I agree Nancy! I am so glad my son joined the Navy! I wouldn't have the support team that I have in another branch. Thank you all for letting me be a part of such a wonderful group!
