All of us
Karen's grandfather was in the Coast Guard for 38 years. When he retired, his unit gave him a gift of a ship's bell clock engraved with his name, rank and dates of service. My grandmom held onto the clock since Grandpa Frank's death in 1986.My family decided to pass the clock on to Jeff in honor of his service to our country. The clock is brass, so my dad refurbished the outside and overhauled the inner workings of the clock. During the journey of the clock, the brass plaque with Grandpa Frank’s service dates disappeared, so my family had a new plaque made with Jeff’s name and rank.
Jeff didn’t know my family was going to present the clock to him on a recent trip we made to Florida. My dad asked Jeff to help him out with a clock he was repairing, and had Jeff put the new plaque on the clock. Jeff is very honored to have the clock and its now on his desk at work.

Pike's Peak
We went to the Garden of the Gods Park after the wedding. In the background here is Pike's Peak. Karen is that little dot by the bushes in the foreground! The day was great, sunny and slightly cool.
Angela & Ron's wedding
After Thanksgiving we went to Colorado Springs, CO for the wedding of our friends Angela and Ron. Jeff met Angela in "bomb school" years ago when they were both E4's. They met up again when Angela became part of Jeff's Florida Guard Unit in 2004. Angela came out to Monterey a few months before we did. She met Ron (another service member) while at school in Monterey.We hadn't seen them in almost a year and a half, and we missed them a lot! They had a beautiful wedding that was a LOT OF FUN!
