June 28, 2006 Induction Day. We are minutes away from saying good bye to civilian Tim! We may have smiles on our faces but inside tears, fear, apprehension...oh, my...words don't do it justice!
Six weeks later...our first "Hello". The smile tells it all! After six weeks parents come back for plebe parent weekend. It is their first liberty!
Plebe Parent Weekend is over and Tim is on his way back to begin the school year. We thought Plebe summer was hard. It was easy in comparison to what was ahead!
This is from the end of the year just before Herndon at Sea Trials. Jeff and I got to watch Tim and his company compete in a grueling 12 hour competition. A good ad for Tide!
Jill came for a visit in Feb. She got to be Tim's dinner "date" and ate in King Hall with him!
Mike was still at the Tomb Tim's plebe year. Tim got expert advice on shining shoes!
Grandma and Grandpa Steiner came for a week to see Tim at USNA and Mike at the Tomb. Tim was in the D&B that year so we traveled to Harrisburg, PA to watch them perform. Proud!
Grandpa Imbach came in the fall of plebe year. He got to see Tim play taps on the steps of Bancroft. Loved it!
Dan, Anna, Josiah and Micah came at the end of plebe year just before finals. Cami came along, too, but we didn't know it!
Tim and his room mate Rene Martin just after Herndon! They are elated that plebe year is over! The tradition of the plebe class climbing Herndon monument with the dixie cup cover being replaced by a midshipman cover marks the end of plebe year.
Jill and Nolan came for Herndon week. Here they are with Tim just after he has officially become a "youngster"...plebe no more!
