Today’s a very proud day for the baby (brother) of this family.  Rod entered the Navy ROTC program at the University of Minnesota straight out of high school and his Navy career has been an inspiring series of assignments and promotions. 

Today Rod was promoted to the rank of Captain.  That is higher than Commander, the rank Rod had for the last 4 (?) years, and the next promotion will be to Rear Admiral (lower half).

I know the air must be getting thin way up at the top, but Rod hasn’t lost his sense of Huttonness, as evidenced in the following picture.

Congratulations Rod!  We are very proud of you.
