Yo! from Illinois! Today we went to Gino's Pizza in downtown Chicago, then to the Museum of Science and Industry, where Charles got to go on the tour of the U-505, a German sub captured in 1944. Photos of that will follow on Monday but here are three from this evening:
As Alex said, it's easy to tell which one's the new seaman. Here they are, showing the Power of the Navy:
And finally, Don and me with our two sailors:
Obviously these pix are unretouched, since Don's laptop hasn't any photoediting capabilities, but I thought they'd do for now. ;^)
Tomorrow morning the four of us are going to church on the base, and the afternoon is still open. Tomorrow night Alex, Don and I fly home, leaving Charles to ship out to Groton, CT on Tuesday for submarine training.

How exciting! What wonderful pictures! I'm so proud of both of my nephews (actually all three Navy Nephews). Yeah Charles!
Wow, Clarles looks wonderful as does Alex! We are so proud of all our kids and their families but this has been a real thrill! Love to all, Mom
I tried to update my profile adding a pic. ??? Did I do it??
Cool pics. I notice Seaman Ivy Minor no longer minds having his picture taken, now that he's got a uniform to show off.
If you want photo editing for Don's laptop, download Irfanview at irfanview.com. It's a nice, compact, FREE program, and it lets you do a lot of basic editing functions.
Whoohoo! Navy guys sure are goodlookin'! Especially them Ivy ones.
Congratulations to all, and yes, Mrs. G, your profile pic shows up!

Boy does that bring back memories! I love a man in uniform! Woohoo!
I forgot to mention last night, what handsome young men your sailors are! Congratulations!!
Thank you, ladies. No argument from their Mama, of course.
