Unfortunately, in November 2004, I lost the first one and that was one the most devastating blows I thought I would ever suffer. That was until March 2008 when I lost the other one.

Email exchange between Jeff Rush and Commander of USS CARR

Right on schedule! It is always sad to see a CO move on, but it is good to see someone else have an opportunity to command the finest ship in the USN! As much as we would want to be there, Jane and I won’t be able to attend this change of command ceremony. I will be just returning home from a two week trip to Uganda on March 5th and as much as I would like to attend, I think it best I stay home (this time). J However, if you will send the invitation to me anyway, I can scan it and send it via email to my brother David who maintains a family website (http://www.austin-carr.org). We can post the invitation there and ask that anyone who plans to go notify you directly.
