This is the awesome Valentine family (Aaron, Dianna, Megan, David, Ethan). They graciously took us in for 6 days while we attempted to fly out of Ramstein. Gerri knew them from Michigan Tech (parents) many years ago. Ethan gave up his room for us all that time. Aaron provided translation services. Can't seem to find some texted photos from that period, but this is a recent photo from Megan's high school graduation which happened just before we arrived to stay with them.
We generally hung out, going to a festival, doing some landscaping, eating Chinese food, and sharing some good beer. After Ramstein didn't seem to be happening for us (too many active duty families traveling in the Summer), Dave drove us up to Spangdahlem about 90 minutes away. We made it out on the first attempt on the C-17 Globemaster flying into Bangor Maine.
After staying with Jodie, Clint, and Troy in Connecticut for a week, we made our way back to Norfolk to our 4Runner. Amazing, it was still there, clean, and started right up after leaving it there 4 months ago.
