O Captain! My Captain! (on hold)

 
As of March 18, the woman you know as "G" will offically have a new title...Captain Gina.
 
We recieved the offical word today. From March 13-18, Gina will be at River Boating School in Memphis, TN.

Over the last four years, Gina has completed the nearly 3,000 hours on the river required to become a captain and only a test remains for her to complete her requirements.

Please congratulate her on her huge accomplishment. If I understand correctly, she will become only the second female captain in the history of the Padelford Packet Boat Company.

3/19/05 Update: Gina was a trooper and made the trip to Memphis this week, but unfortunately only passed three of the four tests. She was within two questions of passing the fourth. So, her dreams of becoming a captain have temporarily be put on hold until later in the year when she will go back down to retake the tests.

But, she should still be very proud of what she accomplished, trying to do this 30 weeks pregnant.
