Ruby,  
I’m very close to Fort Wayne, (just across the state line). Email me if you want some distraction; I have a kid who wants to visit the Anne Frank exhibit at the History Museum and we can go eat coney dogs down at Coney Island!

Keep us posted as to how things are going.

Thanks to both of you for your sacrifice for our country and the people of Afghanistan. I hope the times passes quickly and you’re happily reunited soon.

**Ruby** , know that there are people, my husband **Bluesman** among them, who are working very hard to make sure **Mr. Ruby** and his comrades are given all the information they need to do their missions as safely as possible.

We also thank him, and you. I’m active duty myself, now, but I was a dependent wife for many years, and am a veteran of many deployments. Please feel free to e-mail me for any or all venting purposes.
