Uncle Andy and his protege

My cousin Gretchen who lives in NM recently sent me a flight suit for Drew. She had bought it for her son but I am not sure if he ever did wear it? It is the perfect size for Drew right now and so appropriate as Uncle Andy is a fighter pilot! Andy is my youngest brother - 4 years younger than me. He is currently stationed in Japan flying F-15's but will shortly come back to the US to train in the F-22's. This is a HUGE deal and quite an honor as only a handful of fighter pilots will be given the opportunity to fly the F-22's.

Here is Uncle Andy and Drew last August. It has been almost a year since we last saw Andy. So sad :(


...don't they kind of look alike?

Here is Uncle Andy flying!



And here are some fun pictures of Drew in his "fighter pilot suit"

say cheese!







We are not sure when we will next be able to see Uncle Andy, but it won't be soon enough. We sure are proud of all he has accomplished! We love and miss you!!!
