we came up for the return ceremony, brought my mom, my wife.
wife's sister came up

was a good time.

my mom had been to the pier several times when i returned in the Navy, but we had never been to a ceremony like this,

they marched them in, said a prayer/invocation,
few words,

then cut them loose.

was pretty quick, and pretty cool.

someone had a special dress for the grandbaby, and the local photographer got a lot of pics of her and thier names.

went out to eat next day, and pulled up to the restaurant, and my daughter had a FIT, started screaming that's "my baby in the newstand"

we thought she was crazy

i think the pic in the paper made them all pretty happy.
