Sandy and I are long time members of "Teams Of Our Lady" TOOL. A family oriented small faith group. www.teamsofourlady.org/ We first joined in 1982 and took a few years off recently as we moved about the country, and are now once again active in a new TEAM here in Richmond. Our daughter and her husband actually belong to the TEAM we began in, none of the former members remain.
Sandy is a part of PEO, Philanthropic Educational Organization, www.peointernational.org/ an awesome group doing great things.
Myself, I am looking to cleaning the mess that I have been accumulating over the years. I would like to digitize my photos, a couple of thousand slides "O boy!" More prints than that..task 1. Number 2 work or restablishing myself as a coin collector. Don't know how that will work? Now that so much is available in music, I can build my personal libray. Lots to do!

Other Memories I worked for Bob and Knobby at CINCLANT, made one TAD trip. After 11 years in the Navy I had just gotten married the year before and we had a 3 month old daughter. As it happened just before lunch Bob advised me that I would be going on a 120 day north Atlantic cruise. I am old Navy, no problem there. I was a rider in the PI so no big fear factor. I went home for lunch, while there I told my wife about the WASP TAD trip. Well this young lady that I met in WDC is a college graduate and independent, so she replies, "No your not, you have a 3 month old daughter and me in a town where we don't know anyone. Your not going!" I explained the needs of the Navy an orders are orders. "No, your not going!" Thinking that she married into my Navy and that was that, I headed back to the office.
The first person I met coming into the Comm Center was WO Proctor. (This is all leading somewhere about Knobby, honest). "I hear you will be leading the "O" branch detail on the WASP." "Oh, my wife says I can't go!" And I went on into the Comm Center.
Just before my shift was up, Mr. Proctor comes in and asks if we were going to be home this particular evening? Of course. Would it be alright if the Communications Officer, He and their wives stopped by? "Yeah? Sure!" I really did not relate the two events.
After supper I ran to Giant for cheese and coke. You know the visit was of course to convince Sandy that I was going. And of course they promised her all the help and support that she could need. (Oh, and Dawn (months) peed on Carol, that time and each time we got together.)
Skipping ahead, at the end of my ADCOP, I get a personal letter from Knobby. Welcome to Rota, we will help you getting settled, don' t know who your sponsor will be that will come in the official communications. Just wanted to give you a heads up, "what kind of ship do you want, we are DIRSUP here and we have all kinds!"
I ended up working for Skip McGee in the Training Division and never went TAD.
