Just to let you know Amy called from the airport just before she left Indy. She had to make connection in D.C., then to Georgia. She was traveling by herself. Their was one other girl that was suppose to ship but was two pounds under weight. (I should have such a problem) So I guess it will be two or three weeks before we here more. Thanks to all for the words of encouragement.

Thanks for the update Dad you should be getting another phone call very soon from her stating that she has arrived safely. Please dont expect much more than that in the way of telephone calls. She will most likely write her first letter home to you this coming sunday which you should get next week.

As with you Lonnie, we do our best to prepare young'uns. Its all up to her now. I presonally think she'll do just fine. She has the heart and courage to be one of our true warriors.
Out of the thousands of slackers populating our good Nation, you raised a good one. We say thank you!
