OUSTANDING CAREER!!! Kathy you have earned every second of your 29 years (various Naval Commands, your kids and, of course, Jim (hahah)). Now its time to enjoy life after the military.

Congratulations, Kathy, on a very impressive naval career and thank you for your leadership and dedicated service to our country. You've been at liberty now for a couple of weeks and I trust the two Captains commanding the USS Rosaer are sorting out their duties satisfactorily!
JoAnne and I send you and Jim our very best wishes for an exciting new life together. We have also made that transition as we both just retired as public school teachers (JoAnne in physical education and me as a band director.)
To paraphrase a classic Navy recruiting slogan:
RETIREMENT- IT'S NOT JUST THE END OF A JOB, IT'S AN ADVENTURE!

Kathy.....congratulations on a really outstanding career. The fact that you accomplished all you did while married to Jim makes it all that more remarkable.
