Graduation reception.

 

Recognition means so much to the "Doolie" or first year Cadet.  At the end of Recognition the Doolie is presented with their Prop & Wings and in Dan's case his presentation was a precursor of what was to come.  Below are the pics of Dan and his wife Bronwyn.  It was only 3 years before their marriage that Bronwyn was the Upperclassman who pinned Dan's Prop & Wings on him at Recognition!  Cool.  She knew a good Doolie when she saw him !!!   Congrats Dan & Bronwyn.
