As good fortune would have it, we were able to travel to Tampa, Florida to meet the Keystone Texas, the 600-foot steam-powered domestic tanker that Garrick '10 is serving aboard in the Engineering Department. The ship carries gasoline from New Orleans to Tampa and back. We toured the ship and met the Captain and Garrick's boss, the Master Chief Engineer, and the first mate, who is a '98 Kings Point (Dan) graduate. Also, on deck is KP a '08 grad (Laura). I can tell you now that I have never been so proud of what our young men and women are accomplishing. We received a wonderful tour of the engine room and were proud and amazed at the knowledge these young midshipmen have accumulated in such a short time. We were also able to celebrate a late Christmas with Garrick and his KP shipmate, Reilly Milligan, who is from Texas.
