<p>I was disappointed this year. We were unable to attend parents weekend (son at sea) and I was wondering how it was?</p>
<p>Fantastic! great to see son, great game, two overtimes…I could go on forever :)</p>
<p>Thanks! I remember how much fun it was last year and I really miss seeing my son this year.</p>
<p>We arrived late on Friday, so missed one day, but our son plays on the football team (#73) and the game was a real treat, if a nail-biter until the long-delayed end. I absolutely loved all the coaches hugging each other. They really earned it, but the D and O lines were both steady and unflappable and executed well.</p>
<p>The weather was a bit of a negative, certainly not like last year’s tail end of a hurricane, but nothing that could dampen the fun of pulling out that last-play victory. Coach Toop said it best, that neither team should have lost that game.</p>
<p>The financials were a bit dampening, with the news that the Kingspointer can’t afford to sail this year, and some of the facilities were looking a little ragged. That’s really a shame, because such a pittance in comparison to other budgets would go so far at USMMA.</p>
<p>I probably won’t see my son again now until next fall, as he has three consecutive assignments lined up, to head into his final year. It seems a light year since we dropped him off for Indoc.</p>
