GONE AGAIN.... 

Gone again today. We are going to Fort Leonard Wood to see Rocky’s grandson graduate. He is in the Air Force and after boot camp in Texas he was stationed at Fort Wood for further training. He has been operating big equipment for several weeks and will be shipped to Germany after a short leave.

His mother and father live in California, and has an older brother and younger sister who are still at home. His mother drove to Fort Wood to see him when he arrived and his dad will fly out to drive home with him after graduation. They plan a large gathering of friends and family when he arrives back in California.

For me, it is always memorable to go back to the Fort. I was well acquainted with the Base for over 30-years before my marriage to Rocky finally ended my association with the Army. I have nothing but good to say for the military. As a retiree’s dependant I was always treated with the utmost professionalism.

We are happy to be the family representatives for this occasion since it didn’t work out for any other family member to be there. Zach is a great kid and we wish him well.

Until tomorrow,
