Great to hear from you. Wow....truly a blessing to have a child. How old is Sean? Glad you found happiness with Dawn (although I don't think I know her). I read your bio and where you are in your life--looks like you took an exciting route to say the least, and am certainly glad life is well for you.
you heard right, I was in the service, and after 21 great years, I retired from the Air Force back in 2005. I have 3 great kids: Caiti (20), Max (18) and Hanna (13). I married and divorced twice, but am engaged with a fabulous woman named Sue (her son and my son set us up on a blind date over 3 years ago). Much more to tell for all the years in between, but that'll have to wait for another time. Take care!
Hey Matt. Remember me? It's been a long time. Glad to see you've done well and continue to do so. I was looking over your pics and saw the one taken back in the 80's...amazing how time goes by. Glad to see your doing well.

Likely won't get to see Cadets this year. I have an invite from Wamba to joined him in VA for a few days and catch the corps in Warrenton. Will see if that comes to pass.
I have heard the show is very different. I liked the '07 production - narration seemed to help, but I know what you mean. Time to break out Cuban Fire!!!!
Hey Matt,
Glad to read you and Dawn are doing well. I stay in touch with many from Garfield and Bush. We'll be in Allentown this summer unable to attend Clifton, we live in Austin, TX. If you go to a DCI contest this summer and Crossmen are there, check out the timpanist, he is our 16 year old son Greg.
Take care hope to see you both this summer.

Matt- I definitely remember Dawn from 1985. Excellent that you both have been together all these years. My wife and I are busy packing for our first vacation without offspring in 15 years. We're going to Vegas tomorrow for our 20 anniversary. Maybe we will get re-married by Elvis.
20 years seems to have gone by fairly quickly. Pretty ironic since we grew up in a world where 21 years old was considered the end of the line.
