There are so many reasons why I am so proud of so many generations of my family but I’m soaring with pride and excitement this week over my youngest grandson, Ensign Angus Yeoman. The University of South Carolina grad and United States Naval officer just completed his initial solo flight at the naval aviation school in Corpus Christi, Texas.
Angus, son of Chris and Tracie Yeoman, graduated from St. Joseph’s High School in Toms River before going into ROTC in South Carolina and graduating from there two years ago!
Angus might have his feet squarely on the ground when it comes to intelligence and common sense, but seeing him a couple of thousand feet in the air flying a Navy aircraft at 300 mph or so is an awful lot even for a proud granny to take.
