Plebe summer...now and then!

Tonight Jeff and I took a friend, Melody Slothower, from Corvallis, Oregon over to the yard. A former student of hers is a plebe and she is in DC for a conference. While we were there, of course, we had to see Tim. We show him here tonight as a "Detailer" with the specific job of squad leader along with company mate, Mallory. I found photos of the night on July 4th of their plebe summer when she came up with the idea of a few of them to walk towards us and put their trash in the trash can and no one would be the wiser of whose parents were there. Very clever! We've never forgotten! So now who do we see walking towards us but Mallory and Tim! Only this time we shook hands and hugged! No more incognito! And Melody got to see her student! It was great! Small world...he's from Corvallis and I was his preschool teacher!

Here is Mallory obviously telling Tim of her great plan. I can just hear her saying, "If we all do it together no one will know!"

After scheming Tim, Mallory and another cohort walk towards us. Notice the empty plates. We were behind a fence about 20 yards away from the trash can(which you can't see) so they came towards us to put them in the trash.

Fast forward to tonight. As we watched for Melody's student along came 10th platoon and the squad leaders following. It's Tim and Mallory.... only now they are firsties and in charge!
