    Again, Congratulations and God Bless you, Hunter, as you further serve your country in your chosen profession. You come from great genes. I remember listening to your granddad tell stories about his Marine training and military service. He also knew how to plan a Halloween wagon ride and provide plenty of scary activities as we rode along. He took great pride in pre planning these events and always lit up when he saw one of his riders turn pale and beg to go back to the church. I was fully grown at that point but he knew how to get me. Your grandma was a great help to her parents in the post office and grocery store. I do have great memories from those days.

    It’s always great to see stories of young people doing well, succeeding, doing right and getting a good start in life. Obvious evidence of great parenting!
    Way to go, Hunter!

    What a wonderful story. When so much is gloom and doom, it is refreshing to see a story that is uplifting. Congratulations Hunter.
