How is your family members feeling? Hope he and the crew are not getting hit hard with CV symptoms.

HollB, Thank you for asking! He was one of the crew who disembarked early because a couple people in his division (and berthing area) tested positive for CV. He spent a night or two on a cot in a big gymnasium on the base. His mother, as risk-averse as they come, is the one who has a bit more curl in her hair these days, tho. The Navy set up some diversion activities on the pier where the ship is tied up. I joked with him that even if they get passes to leave the pier, it is no great deal...It IS only Guam after all. A bunch of carrier sailors answering a port or starboard liberty all at once could indeed cause the island to capsize. ****
