One Final Salute - 10-31-2007, 06:53 AM


With the last salute of the day and the lowering of the U.S. Flag, my wife retires after 20 years of service. Sorry for the dust bunnies, I had to sneak the 85mm in my pocket, only one lens was allowed.











and here she is, happily gathering her awards and certificates...

She has never seen this forum and I am fowarding this link to her.
I made her an 11x14 album out of the retirement ceremony.
Thank you all for the well wishes!!
