The next day it was time to go. Of course mom made him hold a "First day of Marines" sign.

Barb and Fred got a call at 2:38AM today July 12th from Erick saying he had arrived at Parris Island. He'll send a postcard home in a week with his mailing address. I'll post it as soon as we have it. If you have any pics from the party email them to me and I'll post them. Kellyhoulihan@hotmail.com
