Change of Command

Yesterday we attended a Change of Command Ceremony for our very "first" neighbor here, Lt. Charlotte Mundy, US Coast Guard. Charlotte has been gone from Hawaii for over two years, serving in San Diego and then in the Arabian Gulf. Her mother, Karen, has been living in her house for the past 18 months. Charlotte will be stationed in Hilo once the ship is out of dry dock. The ceremony was held at the Coast Guard base on Sand Island. It was really very nice. Since the commanding officer that Charlotte is replacing is from Hawaii, the reception afterwards was all "local" food.

I was afraid to hug her, might get her dirty!
