"Bringing Our Pioneer Spirit of Yesterday Forward Into Tomorrow"
Recently because some other folks were inviting me I got on Facebook.
I have certain reservations about it:
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.
I don’t normally read books on war or military actions. I originally started to read this book because my mother’s brother is Paul Henry Carr. He died in this battle. (more…)
Carr Family:
Got this e-mail from James Hornfischer (Thanks, Jim.), the author who wrote Last Stand of the Tin Can Sailors. My mother and sister-in-law and I got to meet him at a book reading at Barnes & Noble in San Antonio. He also has a new book out about the USS Houston, (more…)

It’s going to be a girl
YEA we had our ultrasound today and we found out that little baby is a Girl. We are so happy and excited. Due date is still February 28.
Ethan was sad, he said he wanted a boy 🙂 that was cute. He will be ok I think when she is born 🙂
We are going to name her Addison Hope Mattey. The ‘hope” is for my granny who is being so very brave and fighting cancer, a battle that she will definitely win 🙂 We love you all and can’t wait to see you in the USA in a few weeks.
take care!!!!
