A Big Hearty Thank You

Here is a big hearty thank you to those folks that worked so hard to make the Carr Reunion such a big success.

The danger in singling out folks is that you will leave someone out. If I do so it is not intentional. Please allow me to apologize in advance.

The primary culprits behind this successful event were:
Jane Rush
Nancy Milam
Paulette Lorsbach
Luanna Tucker
Mike Rush
Perry Schulze
Jeff Rush

Everyone should join in and give them many thanks. Not only did they spend much time and effort on this, but they spend a good portion of their personal treasure to make this happen.
Here, Here…Hip Hip Hooray.

Juanita Carr Rush

LET’S MAKE A STAND, SHALL WE?

My mother, Juanita Carr Rush, told me a story once about being back home in Checotah, Oklahoma. It was one of the Carr-Fests wherein the Carr Sisters would take advantage of the opportunity of Juanita bringing her boys to have a family reunion. Juanita would have still been in her twenties, with at least one, possibly two, three, or four children

After the kids have gone down for the night (more…)

Facebook

Recently because some other folks were inviting me I got on Facebook.

I have certain reservations about it:

  1. It is run by a korporation for profit, and as such I am always suspect as to what they will do with my information. In this world of spam and korporate greed I worry about that. (more…)

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.
