Thanks for the congrats, and yes, my son was one who hugged the President! He said he asked, ‘Can I have a hug?’ before he actually hugged him. Also said the President was shorter than he thought he was. Did you see the photo of that gigantic midshipman who hugged Bush? When it happened, it looked like the guy totally enveloped (sp?) Bush in the hug!

We got lots of distance shots, and there is a whole slew of photos on Newsday’s website today, I’ve already saved them all on my computer. We’ll also be getting proofs of individual shots with Bush from the photographer, I’ll probably buy them all!

The entire weekend was outstanding, everything ran smoothly, the events were great and you couldn’t ask for nicer weather! It was getting a bit warm during the ceremony yesterday, but nobody really cared! The logistics of getting in and out of the Academy weren’t as bad as we anticipated.

I will never forget this weekend!
