Hi Col. Moses,

It’s great to hear from you. I am the oldest son (48 years old now) and I live in the San Diego area. I have been out here about 22 years now. I’ve been married to my wife Stacy for 18 years and we have two children, a daughter Kylie who will be 16 next month and a son Tommy who just turned 13. I am an author and a speaker on the topics of Leadership, Communicationan and Peak Performance (www.tommccarthy.com).

My brother Bob, who is a year younger than me, lives in Boulder, Co with his wife Robyn and his children Andrew and Charlotte. Bob is a VP for a company based in Boulder called Level 3.

Brother John, who is the youngest, is a 1985 graduate of West Point and is a Colonel in the Army. He served a tour in Iraq and then went to the War College in Carlisle. Upon finishing War College about a year ago, he was stationed in Turkey. He is there with his wife Margie and their two daughters Helen and Meg.

I have copied my brothers on this email and I’m sure they will email you too. My brother Bob reminded me in March that it had been 45 years since our Dad died in Vietnam. It is always nice to hear from his classmates and friends.

If you are out in California again visiting James, please let me know. We have a guest house and we would love to have you come and visit.
