Coast Guard Academy 10-yr reunion.

About a month and a half ago Natalie and I went to Conn. to go to a Coast Guard Academy 10-yr reunion. We had a great time and I was able to see lots of old friends from my military days. I posted all my pics on my facebook page, But apparently this good friend and old roomy Katy, doesn't have facebook and got mad at me for not putting something on my blog about it. So this one's for you old roomy. This was the room we shared in Alpha company back in '95. Boy we had some good times buffing that floor! Love ya K-dawg!


This is the class of '98 about to walk on to the field before the football game. Ya, I used to wear that uniform!

While at the Academy we had a classmate, Kevin, pass away. The class was able to put together this memorial patio for him and we had a ribbon cutting ceremony with those classmates who made it out for the reunion...it was beautiful to be a part of. We miss you Kev.



After the weekend of fun and friends Natalie and I took a quick trip to NYC to visit another friend , while there we got to spend a couple short hours walking around the city. This is across the street from Ground zero and is a makeshift cross made from some of the rubble from Sept. 11. It is truly a sacred place in the middle of a busy city.

You and Natalie do a lot of travelling together! Why don't you stop in Wisconsin one of these trips (I know you are dying to come here!!)

I'm a little disappointed you didn't post any pictures of yourself in the snazzy uniform...
