Pine Lake Farewell: Thomas
Pine Lake finally got a military base, so Sam ended her furlough and packed up the family to boot camp. Her past experience and high skill helped her to move quickly up the ranks and soon they were enjoying the view from the comfortable officer quarters. Even in times of peace, senior officer doesn’t have much free time, but in the little she finds, Sam enjoys tinkering on an old car with her boys.
Aldric’s name was becoming widely known as a headliner during the base’s construction, and once Sam re-enlisted, he was offered a job as chief of the base’s entertainment. It wasn’t long before the military stage became the destination for a good night out...for military personnel and civilians alike! He and Charlie made sure to meet up every few seasons to catch up and share laughs about life in the limelight. He made a decent effort to stay in touch with his brother’s family too, but life took them in different directions so the cousins were never particularly close.
Ivor grew up more in his father’s footsteps, loving the spotlight, and less so the exercise machines. He did enjoy spending time with Mum on the old car, though, and was proud to drive the beater around, even if they could use much fancier vehicles whenever they liked...including the helicopter.
Caleb was the complete opposite of his brother, growing up into a total fitness nut. He met Georgia Newson through the cross country club, and they’ve been an item ever since.
