It is almost gone and has passed so quickly. It seems it was just summer on the Sassafras and we were boating, kayaking and fishing. Now it is time to buckle down and make a major push to finish the interior of Mosey. Why would that be? This is the year we throw the lines, cut our land based ties to the Sassafras and sail off into the sunset! We could leave as early as June and go north, then heading south for the Keys and the Exhumas. Ken is charting the course! Everything now is geared to realizing a goal my husband has had for many years- to find his soul mate and sail into the sunset on one of the finest trawlers ever built!
This year has brought two new grandchildren, Nate and Carter Junior.
Llewellyn Gaultierus Hunt will serve with the B-2-104TH RSTA 56Th SBCT in Iraq for a deployment not to exceed 320 days starting in January. He finished his last semester with a 3.8 GPA in international studies and is looking forward to applying for the Boyer Scholarship to study abroad.
Guenola Marie Douce Hunt made her debut at the First Troop Philadelphia City Cavalry Welcome Home Celebration and Debutante Ball, December 27TH, 2008. The ladies were honored with the presentation of the colors and flourishes by the Escort Platoon.
She has been offered a directive study program at Northeastern University which entails learning all of the procedures involved with her professor's research in molecular biology. She will be "knocking genes down" (inserting RNA into developing fish embryos) to determine if it is possible to find a gene / application for repression of tumor growth in humans in addition to documenting the process from start to finish and writing her own grant proposal and research project next spring semester. She will finish this semester with a 3.8-4.0 and is at the top of her bio. class! Here we come Tuft's!
Sadly, this year also saw the passing of Ken's sister, Brenda, in October after a battle with lung cancer.
