shogun,
Loved the photos! Beautiful children and parents–my favorite is of you dancing with your lovely cadet!
My mid (and the other usna female mids) didn’t wear formal mess dress, but her male friend did. My daughter was the tall blonde with black strapless top, exquisite long red satin skirt with jet black beading across the front of the skirt. She loves her school, but also loves dressing up!
It was funny because people asked her “Young lady, where do you go to college?” She proudly told them “United States Naval Academy!” Also, the day before the ball she and her friends were at Disneyland (along with a million other guests–the day the Christmas tree in the hotel caught on fire). My mid was proudly wearing her USNA sweatshirt and a couple of 2001 USNA grads asked her, “Who do you know at the Naval Academy?” Again, she announced, “I go there!”
The following day, USC and Texas football teams went to Disneyland. I saw them interviewed on the news and some of the football players looked old enough to be retiring from the NFL!!!
My daughter had a fabulous time at the All Academies Ball; hope you and your family did too! Thanks for sharing the photos, they’re wonderful.
Happy New Year!
