Tribute
Admiral Nelson was please to announce the latest mission for the Seaview submarine and it's crew. They will be heading to Hawaii for an award ceremony to be given out by the Nelson Institute for a job well done during the past year.
For those to receive outstanding work on board the Seaview would be Captain Lee Crane, Commander Stanley Kowalski, Patterson, Doctor Jameison, Doctor Anthony Sterling, Commander Rose Marie Crane, and Kowalski.
Admiral Nelson had tried to change the location of the award location. However General Maxwell of the Hawaii air base wanted it their with having been friends with the Admiral some 20 odd years.
Captain Lee Crane was driving his red Cobra into the Institute grounds after making sure the two boys and Rose Marie will be ok with leaving the beach house. They were getting things together with the two boys to be staying at Rose Marie's sister home for the week or so away from them. The nanny Andrea will be coming along to help out in case their are any trouble. It wasn't going to be easy for the two boys to be away from the father and mother.
Even Rose Marie complained to the Admiral that she really didn't want to attend the ceremony. Even though she deserved with all of the work involved in the lab and her projects. She was forced to go and having be met by the President of the United States to be shaking their hands and handing out the medals.
Parking his Cobra near the office of Admiral Nelson. Crane locked up the vehicle with it being some what cooler than normal. He walked over to the main door of the Institute and walked inside to speak with his secretary Angie having gotten back from a six month leave with her husband in London, England.
"Lee how are you? It's been awhile since I have seen everyone. By the way Congrats on winning the award medal." She asked and came over to him to give a strong hug by her. "Are you here to see the Admiral?" She says with picking up the phone to connect to his office.
"Yes, Angie. What is it?" Nelson says over the phone with a pile of paper work on his desk that he needs to go over and sign before the trip in the morning.
"Sir, Captain Lee Crane is here to see you." She replies with glee in her demeanor.
"Send him right in Angie." He said.
"Right away sir." She hangs up to turn and face him. "You can go right in Lee." She responds with getting up quickly to check on something in regard to the paper work that she needs to check into before giving it to the Admiral.
A moment later...
"Lee what's on you're mind today? Are you ready to head out to see in the morning?" He asked the two questions towards his friend and long time captain of the Seaview.
"I am, but Rose Marie isn't. She rather stay here instead of going to Hawaii for the tribute. She keeps saying that she has a great deal of work that needs to be done, along with being close to David and William." He says with taking in a deep breath to relieve some of the tension.
Admiral Nelson was shaking his head with Lee on the edge of the desk perched as always over the years. "Lee, it's really not possible to change now. The president is looking forward to meeting Rose Marie finally." Nelson says with getting up from his seat with needing to exercise his legs with losing circulation a little in his legs from seating too long.
"Fine sir. I will tell her even though she it wasn't going to happen with the change.I will see you on board the Seaview tonight. I understand that everyone of the crew will be available this time for the trip to Hawaii." Crane says with a half crooked smile.
"And I hope Lee it's going to be a smooth ride all the way over." He places his hand on his right shoulder while walking him out of the office to head back home and give her the bad news.
