Lt. Brett Lester

(Community Matters) Brett’s one of my undergraduates. I raced back from Llano today to attend his commissioning as a Lieutenant in the United States Marine Corp.

Admiral Bobby Inman

Admiral Inman has been an important mentor to Brett during the last year. He agreed to speak at the commissioning and to pin Brett with his two bars.

Admittedly, over the last four years, I’ve tried to talk Brett out of this. Nevertheless, our country is lucky to have him serving.

Llano

(Community Matters) Spent the night at the KDK Ranch with Janet, Kent & Kent’s family. They’re like my own. Good gosh, grew up with them during my 30’s.

Kent & Janet led a fishing expedition this morning


Last night we celebrated Gilford’s 29th birthday. Tonight an even bigger bash celebrating Janet’s.
