Condolences/message from Dan McKay (69): 

My condolences to the Ann Pritchart family.

I know many of you have close experience with military proceedings but a first for me came Friday when I went to my son Chris’ graduation form basic training in Fort Sill, Oklahoma.  My daughter Naomi (15) and I drove down and got to spend most of three days with him before we had to leave and he was shipped out for more training in Texas.  The military was very hospitable and gave us demonstrations about their training and allowed us to see much of the base.  We got to see many of the shooting ranges and watch new soldiers going through their training exercises.  Armadillos and snakes made their presence known also.  Their training gas chamber was still nasty after days of not being used, my throat still hurt the next day! I can’t imagine what it was like for the guys when they were in there with the cs gas!! Graduation was very “starchy” as the military calls for but yet the Brigade commander was ushering people up front so they could take pictures of their soldiers.  Of coarse the soldiers didn’t smile or look right of left or anything, signifying their training and that they knew how to follow orders! Very impressive and Yes, I’m proud of my son.  Thanks Gary, looks like a beautiful wedding.
