November 2023 (Part 01)

Missouri Trip and USMC Birthday Ball

With Andy home and attending class virtually, he and Nancy were able to head to Missouri for a visit with Grandpa Bill which overlapped with the Marine Corps Ball.  Timing was good, as he had fallen a couple weeks prior and it helped

One of the first stops was at Central Dairy, and some of the later stops.

Enjoyed another Marine Corps Ball.

Bill was pretty proud to have his sisters, Catherine and Barn, along with his niece Karen and her husband, Kevin attend.  It was the first ball any of them had attended.  Andy had been to one before, but he was a lot younger.

Of course, Bill and Ro were there, as they have joined Bill at the ball for many years (going back almost to just after Nancy graduated college when Bill was her ROTC commandant of cadets).

Some other images from the trip.
