December 2004


Greetings Classmates! From the sunny shores of North Carolina I'm proud to bring you further word about the lives and times of members of our class. We're a little short on submissions this month, but have exciting news from Kathy McMorrow and Steve Formann:
The doting parents of Kathy Kfilani McMorrow announce that after a whirlwind romance that began at the Navy Academy Prep School, Kathy, the Pineapple Princess and Steve Fortmann of "4 Hours on the Bay" Herndon fame entered holy matrimony last year, 2003. This year, 2004 they became proud parents of 8 pounds of fighting force, baby Bruce Fortmarm. They named their son after their USNA Toyota Four Runner "Bruce", the vehicle with which Kathy took on the entire USMC Band and their Carryall and drove away the winner. Bruce and the rest of the team are enjoying southern living in their home in Virginia Beach, VA. Kathy left active service in August 2004 but as a member of the Individual Ready Reserve stands ready to serve again if the call goes out for nursing mothers to defend the faith or stand up for the rights of small nations. Steve and his SEALTeam return from Baghdad in October after serving as personal bodyguard to the IraqiVice President. Early next year Steve, Kathy, Bruce and America's Cat and Dog, Cuba and Shady head for their new duty station in Stuttgart Germany. Stopping only long enough to attend Lacy "The Cutting" Edge and Matt Sladky wedding at the USNA in Novernber'04. Kathy, in her native language, wishes all her classmates, "Me ke aloha pumehana."
Additionally, although I may have mentioned this earlier, I have a tidbit included from Michael Davis:
Also, for a SHIPMATE update, I got married in April of this year to Catherine Best (Davis now), and we live in Memphis,TN - if anyone gets an assignment at the base at Millington, I would like to get in touch with them.
I hope that you all are enjoying the holiday seasons and look forward to great submissions noting the various escapades of our illustrious class. By the way, if you're ever in the Wilmington area, give me a call, Carissa, Caleb and I would love to have visitors!

Semper Fi, CB Johnson
