It was 23 years ago today that Dave & Dawn were blessed by God with their firstborn child, named Knucklehead #1!
Daniel Jon Hutton arrived early at Naval Hospital Pensacola Florida. Over the years Dan has grown into a very impressive young man! Now Ensign Dan is a commissioned officer and is stationed in Atsugi, Japan with the US Navy and VFA-102 (the Diamondbacks). He is a key player on the maintenance team keeping the birds in the air.
Between 1986 and today Dan has had lots of interesting life experiences, from beginning his soccer career in Jacksonville, Florida and playing all the way through college and being named a college all-region player. He grew to be a surfer dude during five years of living on the beach in Hawaii and translated those skills into snowboarding and being a teacher/coach at Buck Hill in Burnsville. Best of all, he met his future bride all the way back in high school at the Sunshine Christian music festival. They stayed together and we now have our first daughter-in-law, Alysa, who we are also very proud of.
Dan is presently deployed with his squadron onboard the aircraft carrier USS GEORGE WASHINGTON and is celebrating his birthday with a port call in Perth, Australia. We hope he enjoys it and know he looks forward to Alysa joining him in Japan in August.
