2020 A BOY AND HIS PUPPY DOG

Getting the dog was a good thought for the kids. Of course it is almost impossible to get "Tracker" away from Cathy, but looks like Ryan was able to do that.

2019 GUNNAR RETURNS FROM RECORD SETTING DEPLOYMENT

Gunnar has been very quiet recently. That is because he was onboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, an Aircraft Carrier. He was not allowed to divulge the ships location, except when he returned home base at Sand Diego, Ca.

Getting pictures from him has been difficult, however when they arrive they will be posted.  These are from days gone by.

WITH THOR AND MAGNUS

THINKS HE IS COOL. HE  IS.

2019 ZACHARY ASSIGNED TO CHARLESTON, SC

Zachary recently completed "Yeoman School" in California. He enjoyed the class and also had the opportunity to ski dive. On the way to and from California He drove through as many National Parks that were close to his 3000 mile journey.

Once in Charleston he settled in quick and volunteered on several occasions to be part of USCG Honor Guard.

I wonder why there wasn't someone there to say "Put a helmet on !!"

This is the Day that made it all worth while:  GRADUATION

Being a part of the Honor Guard does have some Rewards.
