A shout out for the MAD-beloved **Lucretia**. This weekend, if I recall correctly, she’ll be taking the stage to get those 2nd Lieutenant’s bars placed on her shoulders. Might not actually be my place to start the thread but sadly I’ll be away this weekend (10th anniversary trip) so this is the shout out I can send. So let’s give it up for the longest-haired MAD around! All the best and congrats to **Lucretia**. And I still need to send you guys the stuff you left behind at the party! I’ll even throw in some sparklers! ---

Congratulations **Lucretia**! Sorry I can’t be there to celebrate either, but I don’t want to see **Jonathan Chance** in a bikini. ::shudder:: ---

I’ll be leaving home here in about 5 hours. I’ll then be driving for about 8 hours. I’ll then be passing out during the ceremony. But it’ll be worth every minute just to have to salute you, **Lucretia**. I’ll see you tomorrow. 🙂 Dave
