BEFORE THE ACADEMY

Kevin signs the papers that commit him to four years at the Naval Academy, followed by five years in the military.

Kevin poses for pictures with a few of the Northern California appointees at the parent's club appointment banquet.

Here's Kevin with his Appointment letter and parents. 

Kevin wolfs his mom's awesome food at his big "Shoving Off" party.

Our friend Carol (the one with the knife), cuts a piece of the wonderful "USNA" cake she baked for Kevin's party, while Kevin's cousin Ben videotapes, his mom grabs a plate and Kevin shovels another bite of cake.

Kevin says good-bye to friends before driving to Annapolis.
