That card, by the way, comes from Itty Bitty Witty Knitties: http://www.ittybittywittyknitties.com/. Looks like they have some fun stuff. Yogahz -- I did sign up for a Ravelry account but so far haven't had a chance to figure out how to use it. But I did go there to find some patterns for making hats for newborns; I'd like to make some to donate to a hospital. Liz — Glad you liked it!

The experience touched both my mother and I greatly. While I knew of most of her history and experiences, it was wonderful to see it in another context. Words cannot express how special the event was to our family. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Cindy P.S. As soon as I can get my mother in the uniform, I will send pictures! ;-) Thank you for the wonderful pictures and the amazing afternoon. The experience touched both my mother and I greatly.

I wish I could be there to join you. I have read your impressive biography and many accomplishments.
