Post-Holiday messages

We've heard from Seth a couple of times since the holidays. We shared one long phone call last Sunday (talked for over a half hour) and Jan had a long conversation with him the middle of this week. His spirits are very good - I think attributed to the fact that Christmas is over - and he seems pretty content to be doing his job (even night towers!) He even noted that he expects a second deployment before his hitch with the National Guard is over and that wouldn't be so bad. He's hoping for a 2 week leave in April and has plans to meet with the middle school students at my school to thank them personally for their tremendous support. He's hoping to get his computer back so he can do a couple of powerpoint presentations with his pictures.
