From John

Dear Family;

It’s been way, way too long since Judy and I contributed to the family letter. Regarding the Decker Boys; they’re old enough to submit on their own, plus the fact that we really couldn’t keep track of their daily activities if we tried.

Here’s a nuts, nutshell sketch and short, short microburst of all the family letter time we’ve missed;

We packed-up and moved from San Diego to Charleston, SC over the holidays in 2006.

Lived in a downtown carriage house then bought a home.

Judy started-up and headed the program management office for SAIC on the SPAWAR contract.

John went to work for EMA integrating C4I comm gear on MRAP vehicles.

In 2007 John went to work with LCE on a SPAWAR contract

In November 2008 John and Judy packed-up and headed back to San Diego

There’s a lot more pieces to the puzzle but that’s the basic sketch. We did some traveling, we met lots of people and different characters and came to realize that San Diego is like no other. Home is a relative thing but mostly it’s where one feels most comfortable…. and San Diego is a very comfortable place to be.


Besides, Judy likes the California beaches best.
