We are SOOOOO excited to welcome a daughter and sister-in-law to the family. Jack and Michelle decide to have a simple marriage ceremony in Hawaii to get Michelle into the Navy medical system before they arrive in Boston. When the COVID thing subsides they will have a real wedding. Our Hawaii friend Dean officiated the ceremony infusing Buddhist and Hawaiian traditions while his wife Jaynine did a spectacular job decorating with flowers. The ceremony took place in their yard which is up the road from where we used to live in Kailua 20 years ago. Michelle's family and ours was on ZOOM to witness the festivities. After the ceremony was a puppy reception with 10 puppies from Dean's dogs recent litter. Soooooo cute.......both puppies and newlyweds. Jack said good thing they were all spoken for or there probably would be a pup on the plane to Boston in addition to their dog Penny. Later they had some photos taken at the beach.
On July 10, 2020 Jack departed from the destroyer USS Chung Hoon (DDG93) after serving for 4 years as Legal Officer, Auxiliary Officer, and Navigator. For "meritorious achievement" during his two tours of duty Jack received both the Navy/Marine Corp Achievement Metal and the Navy/Marine Commendation metals.
