ONWARD TO FORT DRUM FOR CASEY

At the end of June, Lynne flew to St. Louis and then drove to Ft. Leonard Wood Missouri to attend Casey's graduation from Army Basic Training. We flew Casey's girlfriend Jen out with Lynne and then the three of them flew back to Louisville three days later. Lynne was on pins and needles anticipating the trip and the happy reunion. Casey was able to spend a couple of weeks in Kentucky where he shuttled back and forth between our house in Elizabethtown; Mike and Amber's in Louisville; Aunt Shirley's, Alice's and his dad's home all in Frankfort as well as Jen's home. Two weeks ago he left for Fort Drum In New York state. He will be there until sometime in November or December, after which he faces the prospect of deployment to either Afghanistan or Iraq. Not certain of the time frame. Oh yeah, he will also do a stint at Jump School for Army Airborne.
