This past Friday my son Bob graduated from Marine boot camp on Parris Island S.C.This had to be one of the proudest moments of my life.When he passed the grandstands in review I bawled like a baby.On a side note I just spoke with my youngest daughter and she told me I'm going to be a Grandpa!! Just thought I'd share with my Triumph family. 
Just an old Hippie and I don"t know what to do.

Wow! I envy your Son (and you). He is starting his "Great Adventure" in the Marines, something that he will be proud of his entire life. I wish him well. And for you, Grandkids are great fun. Spoil them and give 'em back to your kids.

I cannot imagine your feeling. You should buy some lottery tickets! Congrats on your grandchild and son. Please also tell your son thank you from a stranger in Ohio.
