We are very proud of Adam as he officially became the Commanding Officer of the USCGC Long Island yesterday!  I was also proud of Cooper as he was able to sit still throughout the entire ceremony! (It is important to celebrate life’s smaller victories too!)  The ceremony was very nice and afterwards there was a small reception with a lot of wonderful fried halibut caught on the Long Island!  The crew and families were very welcoming and have us even more excited about living in Valdez.  Please pray that Adam has a successful tour here and that the Long Island and its crew and families are safe and sound!
