17 APRIL 2007 - ANOTHER SAILOR IN THE FAMILY

Last Friday, I attended the graduation of Theresa's son, Kristopher, from Navy Recruit Training at Great Lakes. I am so glad that I went. The ceremony was impressive as almost 1000 new Sailors joined the Fleet......excellent Navy band composed of recruits, disciplined drill team, choral group, flag bearers displaying the flags of the home states of the graduates........even some inspirational speeches. And, the immense drill hall was packed with proud families who traveled to the Chicagoland area from all corners of the States.

I didn't recognize Kristopher. He has slimmed dow and buffed up since I saw him last at Mother's 90th birthday party. One of his shipmates led me to him and he looked resplendent in his impeccable Navy Dress Blue uniform. It was a proud day for him. I was proud of him.

We went to a local restaurant for lunch and I returned him to the base so he could enjoy his weekend liberty. Kristopher is scheduled to stay at Great Lakes Naval Station where he will attend Gunner's Mate Class"A" School. He said that it is a six month course. I look forward to seeing the nephew again soon.

Leah, that is great that Kristopher had someone from the family there as a witness. Do you have a mailing address for him?

You don't know how happy I was to hear from both of you on Kris's gra***tion day. I knew that you had taken him out to eat, but did you get a chance to do anything else?
