Just had to brag somewhere
One of the benefits of living the greater Annapolis metroplex is the opportunity to be sponsor parents to Midshipmen at the Naval Academy. A few years ago, we got a call from my brother-in-law, an Army officer hisself, asking if we would be willing to act as surrogate parents for the daughter of a brother-in-arms. Sure, we replied. Love to.
We took her into our homes and hearts, and we have been far better off for it. The Kid idolizes and adores her, and we’re getting a pretty unique perspective on life from a 19 year old. A truly exceptional 19 year old.
She just got her grades back for her second semester, youngster year.

Color me impressed.
I don’t know about you, but I cannot wait to go to Pensacola and watch her get her wings.

They are absolutely the best things in life.
Looks like an All American who would sail me under in Lasers any day and laugh about it. We need more of them. I’d still kick her but in 420s.
bless you for doing the severn river remote home thing. We used to stay with them, lots of them, when we came to town to sail against navy. some of the nicest people on the planet.
