Wow, technology! Anoreth rarely had access to a computer while they were in the Pacific. We’d get emails, some of which had a large FReeper following. She didn’t get on Facebook until she was posted as a trainer at Cape May earlier this year, and now our Bill, her favorite brother, tells us what’s really going on! “Anoreth says she’ll be home May 16 ...”. “Oh, really? First I’ve heard of it!”
All my dad’s years in the Navy, there was just US Mail. Letters to Dad were like my diary.
I sent Anoreth boxes of trail mix and granola bars when her boat was in port in Seattle, where they don’t have Walmart.
(’Face, Mrs. Don-o, AAM, discussion on the young man’s going away to Afghanistan? The OP is somthing with a lot of eeeeee’s.)
God bless our kids. Angels, protect them. The reading from Mass today was so good, from Deuteronomy, right?
