GO ARMY VOLLEYBALL!!!

Samantha Starta has been very busy the last few months.
In February she was awarded a full volleyball scholarship to the United States Military Academy at West Point and signed her papers on February 25th with her entire family in attendance, including her dad who joined them via Skype from Iraq!! Then on June 9th she graduated from East Duplin High School. And later that month she arrived at West Point for a long enduring process of entering the Army called B.E.A.S.T. In August she completed B.E.A.S.T. and is now a Cadet in the United States Army attending West Point Military Academy!!! She is playing volleyball for them and the team is doing quite well!!!
CONGRATS CADET STARTA!! AND GOOD LUCK WITH ALL YOU DO!!!

Sad Post

On a sad, but important note, Steve & Susie's house was lost in the 49er fire that went through Auburn last month. Scott, Amanda & Simon were also living there. They were not able to save very much, but all of them are doing ok, and that is the best we can ask for in this kind of situation. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of them!!!
