We are SOOOOO Proud.

[William J. Decker]

During this Thanksgiving weekend, all the kids came home, including my middle Daughter who is in her last year at the U.S. Naval Academy. Duiring this summer, she was assigned as the Executive Officer of the training company at the Naval Academy Prep School at Naval Station Newport, RI (NAPS is the year transition program for prior enlisted Sailors and Marines who get Academy appointments). During this time, it seems like there was an incident that she didn't tell up about.

See the attached Citation.

Needless to say, we are so proud of her.

She is humble, even embarased about it, saying that the biggest thing for her is knowing that, in an emergency, she doesn't panic and just gets the job done.

Nice, Will!

What an exemplary young lady! You are very deservedly proud.

[Marcel R. Cyr]

You should be a proud Father Will.

Here's here (preliminary, sorry, I am a cheap-a**) guy) grad photo.

BTW: She has been put up to be her Company's CO for this upcoming semester. We are praying that she gets it. Any prayers would be greatly appreciated.

Will, it was unlawful to copy her picture. Now you are in trouble with the US Navy.

[Russell J. Hensel]

No, only with the photog who snapped the picture and wants me to pay $250 for "lawful" copies.

Not really. Proof positive of G-d's existance, when your kids exceed, well beyond your ability to succeed, or to teach them.
