My 23 year old son Sam came back from Minneapolis yesterday from two

recruiter did on his) and passed his physical with the exception of
needing to drop a little weight before December. After that its off to
Cape May, NJ.

Have to say I'm pretty proud of him for doing this. He is pumped and
excited about it. Jacci is worried. I suppose nothing unusual about
any of that.

if he's assigned to duty in nc, let me know. i'm relatively close to
most of the CG stations on the coast, and will be happy to assist in any
local supervision Jacci thinks necessary. G

Um...what makes you so sure the nation was all that concerned about what branch
of service, rank or whether it was "Hon." or not...?

Seriously, though, the offer of assistance in such situations is, IMO, a great
idea. If he winds up in any of the facilities down here on the LA/MS/AL coast
and needs anything, we'd be pleased to offer any help we can. That said, thanks
and congratulations to you all.

really, I don't - but for some reason, Ensign Pulver popped into my mind. If it
matters, I liked both the character and Jack Lemmon...you didn't put any marbles
any place you shouldn't have, did you...?
