Похожий Отец , Похожий Сын (Like Father, Like Son)

This is what would be called a "late entry" in a hospital nursing note. I couldn't speak of it then, but I can now. On January 16 Joey called to inform us that he had gotten his next assignment. We knew he had been in Washington interviewing for an Air Attache position. Since he spent the first two years of his schooling (ages 6-8) in Moscow, while Joe was an assistant air attache there back in the early '70's, he has had an interest in Russia and Moscow. He took Russian while at the Air Force Academy, flew on flights escorting Russian air crews into the U.S., and has made friends from several countries of the former Soviet Union. When he got to D.C. for an interview for what he thought was another Air Attache slot, he learned that it had already been filled. When the interviewing officer said, "But there is a position open in Moscow if you might be interested," it was all he could do to remain calm and not jump up and down! His ultimate goal at this point in his Air Force career was to go to Moscow as the Air Attache, but he was prepared to take a more circuitous route. Looks like all things come to those who wait! We are so proud of him and proud of Nicki to be so willing to take on this new adventure. She is truly a great Air Force wife and has adapted to so many new things over the years they have been together. The motto "Home is where the Air Force sends us" is now her mantra. Joey is excited to be going back. We are excited he is going back, and are looking forward to visiting and seeing all the changes that have occurred there since we left in 1973. When we were there had we had any high school age kids, they would have been sent to a boarding school in Europe. Now there is a large international high school in Moscow where Mary will graduate and Seth will attend. The life experience the family will gain with this assignment will remain with them the rest of their lives as it has with ours. Жизнь быть хороший!!!
