Frank,

 

Thanks for the suggestions. We will be there for a few days, but plan to see some of the area. I have been to Seattle a couple of times, but mot Whidbey or the surrounding area. My wife and I visited Pike's and spent some time at Mt. Ranier, the coast and the Olympic Mts.

Dillon told us that he should be done with A school around mid November. Maybe it's more advanced for the sailors going into active duty.

We're from Nebraska. Been here all my life, and so far, this has been all that Dillon has known. It will be interesting to find out where he ends up, once he's done with college and all. I have a pretty good idea that he'll be staying around for a while longer, but after that, who knows. The world is a big place.
Dillon is our oldest (of three boys.) We are missing him a lot also. Everyone said that once they get to A school, they will be able to contact home more often, but I think he's enjoying spreading his wings a little bit.
So, does C school start right after A school? The recruiter mentioned that they may have him do C school, but we haven't heard anything since. Are you saying that Sumner should be done with C school in January? Has he told you when A school is projected to be done? Just wondering.
Is Starship playing with anyone else? They were here last week at the State fair, and were on the ticket with Styx.

Hi Frank,
I found out Wednesday, our sons are friends up there. Small world, huh?

Yes, he's up there now. He flew in on the evening of the 5th, I think. He told my wife on Monday that they still hadn't started classes, but they were expecting to at any time. I did ask Dillon if he knows Sumner, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. I'll keep you posted.
