Jeff and I also had a fantastic time. The ceremony was very special and somewhat emotional for all involved. The crews were gracious, the commanders were polite giving us their time to talk about their ships. Commander Little even seemed to blush when we said how young he was compared to our group. He said the new Mac will be coming to the Coast Guard Festival in Grand Haven later this summer. So for those of you in the area try to go see her when she again sails into Grand Haven.

All in all we want to say a big THANK YOU to Dave for letting us tag along on this special day.

Mary and Jeff
