My wife and are enjoying our grand children and in one case A Great Grand child. We head out for a cruise every couple of years. Already planning one this fall if all goes well. The cruise ships are a lot of fun and the weather is usually perfect.
Other Memories My assignment to this Reserve center was not my favorite tour of duty. Very lax group. Midland, Tex is way out of the way from other parts of this world. My family and I drove from NH to Tex. When we crossed the state line of Tex we thought we would be there soon. Wrong. Two days later we arrived in Odessa where we lived for a short time. The Reserve center closed after approx 6 mos. Then it was off to Recruiter School. This meant one hell of a drive to SC, plus another 8 weeks of separation from my family. We did survive. There were some nice folks in Tex and the school system was excellent, but the hail storms,dust storms, spiders, flat land and sand, sand, sand were nothing compared to NH. We were all glad to head for Alabama, our next duty station. Hey, we lived near Bobby Allison--it don't get much better than that. We are Nascar fans.
