Well we had Bill's retirement ceremony on Friday last week. Boy was it a whopper of a day. The weather went really bad so many of our friends could not come from Philly, but we had a wonderful turnout. Bill's parents and his brother's family where able to make it out in the terrible snow, ice, slush.... that fell all day. As well as close friends that live here in the area... The Kissel's and The Damiano's.
The ceremony itself was very nice. A few of the gold bar's (graduated Lieutenants working as recruiters) made a sweet video of our time here at PSU and included some great pictures of Bill and our family with cadets over the years. Bill made a really nice speech, a little humor, a little history and lots of thanks.
After his ceremony he had to do two 1st salutes. They made sure that they mentioned his retired status LOL it sounded so strange. But such is the life of a SFC retired.

Beth-- Found a link to your blog on Jenny's. Good to catch up on the Neumanns. And congratulations to Bill on his retirement! We're still in Tennessee. Brian's still in the Guard--they will kick him out before he retires, I'm sure. So jealous!
