They have a beautiful baby boy, Ferdinando Aurelio.      ianjohnston96@yahoo.com

Garth Johnston

LT Garth Johnston, USNA ‘98, and his wife, Konstance, have just moved from Groton, CT to San Diego, CA.  After Garth finished his assignment as Flag Lt for the East Coast Sub Commander (an Admiral) in May 2004, he was appointed to the War College in Newport, RI.  He received his second Masters in June,  then reported back to Groton for Department Head School until mid-November.  Garth has just begun his Department Head tour as the NAV (Navigator) on the USS Helena, a fast attack submarine (his previous sea tour was on the USS Maine, a boomer out of Kings Bay, GA.) Konstance and the girls, Charlotte (2) and Brianna (8 mos) moved in with us at the end of October.  We had a wonderful three weeks with them before they flew out to join Garth.  Charlotte and Bodey (our Golden Retriever puppy) had great fun getting into as much trouble as they could; what a pair!  Garth drove cross country  and Alec took his Thanksgiving leave to help Konstance and the girls manage the flights to San Diego.  Alec wanted to check things out before HIS move.   garth.johnston@gmail.com


Alec Johnston

01-31-06

ENS Alec Johnston, USNA ‘04, completed Nuclear Power School in Charleston, SC and spent four months at sub school in Groton, CT.  Alec loved Charleston, but is truly excited about moving to San Diego, where he will be a JO (Junior Officer) aboard the USS Topeka, also a fast attack sub.  He will come home after sub school just long enough to do his "home of record" move (he bought a whole house full of furniture at NC prices, and will make the Navy move it out west).  After a USNA friend's wedding in Augusta, GA he will fly to San Diego, then on to Okinawa, where he will meet his boat to cruise back to CA.  We were very lucky to have both boys assigned to San Diego.  Alec will be there for his nieces when their Dad is out to sea, and Konstance will be there to keep an eye on Alec’s place while he’s deployed (and his Corvette will need to be driven, right, K?)    DaBluesman04@yahoo.com


James Lindler '02

 

7-10-2005

I received this email from James Lindler’s dad this past week.  It’s always good to hear what our recent grads are up to.  For you new families, James spoke at our “07 Plebe Picnic two years ago.  Last year during his tour in Iraq, our Parent Club sent him numerous care packages.  Our prayers are with James and his family.

 

Please let the folks know that James Lindler '02 redeployed to Iraq on 6 July 05. He will be there hopefully till Feb06.  He is the Weapons Company XO for 2ndBat 2ndMarines and will be stationed at Camp Fallujah.  He appreciated all the support from the group last visit to the big sandbox.  Please keep him in your prayers.
