There was a surprise for a little girl in the fifth grade at Antietam Elementary School in Lake Ridge on Thursday.
Lt. Commander Brian Harper returned home from Afghanistan to greet his 10-year-old daughters Isabella and 4-year old Grace during a school assembly. With her classmates watching, Isabella and her mother Shannon, welcomed the sailor with loving arms following his tour in the foreign country.
I grew up admiring Peggy Fleming and Dorothy Hamill. They were amazing Olympic figure skaters!
One Christmas my parents bought the whole family ice skates. When the winter came to our home in Spotsylvania, and the temperatures fell well below freezing for a couple of weeks, the pond in front of my parents’ home would freeze over enough to safely go out on it. Then it was time to hit the ice. Literally. I fell a lot the first year, but after logging on many hours, I had “mastered” a few things. By that time my Olympic rink had turned back in to a slushy farm pond.
