Days Forward has enabled me to stay in contact with West Point, the class of ’69 and all the memories I cherish and garnered during the years I dated Mike (Taylor) and after we were married. The highlights of his 11 years of active service (followed by reserves) were three years in Europe and four years back on faculty. The experiences and people we encountered were incredible and only other classmates can appreciate the magnitude of that life. We continued to travel with the class years later and I’ll never forget these tremendous friends. When Mike passed in 2013 after a 5-year battle with cancer, I felt part of my world left with him but Days Forward has reminded me of the grandeur of West Point and the character and amazing feats of the Long Grey Line – especially the class of 1969.
Jannie. Thanks for the post! I know you have some good stories to share. We certainly enjoyed your company on safari. We need to get together in Seattle sometime soon!
Cheers,
Pete
Good to hear from you, Pete~ you gave us the trip and experience of a lifetime. We’ll be back in Seattle in March. Hope to see you both then.
Dear Janie, it was so wonderful to see your beautiful picture and read your sweet reflection. All the memories came flooding back when I read your words. I miss seeing you.
Sending lots of love from the Hammonds!
