These photos were taken during our June 2010 visit to Great Lakes, Illinois for Drew's Navy boot camp graduation. Mary & Bob, ex-pat Buckeyes like us, are friends from our time in Columbus, Ohio who moved to the Chicago area at about the same time we moved to Florida. Just look at the photos and you will be left with no doubt that these guys are truly Scarlet & Gray Buckeye faithful.

We last got together during our trip to Mark's boot camp graduation in 2001. This time around Mary & Bob dropped everything to join us in downtown Chicago on Saturday afternoon, then on Sunday we joined them for brunch at their house. A great time was had, one we wish we could repeat more often.
