Brother Rats: I hope this edition of the Review finds you and your families well. It has been a crazy summer catching up with everyone. In the last issue, I got notes from Thomas Duncan about his recent child’s birth. I got the notes but was unable to get the picture in the last issue. Again, Tom and Kathleen, congrats, and we are all really excited for the both of you. I heard from Cal Murray at the end of the summer. Cal said that Carter Murray had been in the Persian Gulf since March on the USS Farragut, attached to the Theodore Roosevelt. Cal
