Hello TRT Friends,

Here, finally, is one of Trevor's graduation photos, taken June 1st. The cords represent top 10% in his class of 425 students. He'll be attending Indiana University in the fall on an Army ROTC and IU Honors College scholarships, majoring in History, minoring in English (maybe) and German (most likely). Then -- OCS and a possible career in the military.

Thanks to everyone! It would be Troy, our older son who got us hooked on reefing, who considered keeping a reef tank in his dorm room...

Trevor spoke with recruiters and officers of all 4 divisions, and Army was his choice. IF he had perfect eyesight, wasn't slightly red/green colorblind...he'd have gone Air Force and tried to get into the Academy. Flight has been his passion since he was a toddler. (mine, too, so I can share that vicariously through him) His best friend in high school is one of 2 Indiana candidates for the Air Force Academy in Colo. Springs, and he leaves tomorrow. The two boys have traced their ancestry back to common Scottish anscestors, and one of our anscestors was Alexander McDonald. He changed his sirname to Alexander. Trevor is an Alexander, his friend is a McDonald.

Here they are...
This was taken at Trevor's reception -- Matt's on the left, Trevor the right -- and they both have "the right stuff"! Matt was 5th in the class and is an Eagle Scout. Trevor was 15th and is a first degree black belt Tae Kwon Do, both speak German quite well, both target shoot together. And both are gentlemen.

Thanks! To everyone!

Thanks, Cath!
Trevor might not be up in the air...he's more interested in the armoured cavalry in the Army.

His friend, Matt, will probably be a very top-notch pilot someday. He is sharp as they come, focused, can't say enough about that young man. Trevor and he are lucky to have found each other and become friends. They are truly two of a kind.

~ Troy, btw, is doing research for Eli Lily all summer at IU and will teach Organic Chem staring in July. He'll be a senior this fall, living about 1/2 mi from Trevor's residence hall, the same one Troy just moved out of.

Thanks, Johnny! I'll pass this on to Trevor! :)
