Two days after we got home from vacation, we got a phone call out of the blue. It was Arvo! For those of you who don't know or remember Arvo, let me introduce or remind you. Sven, Arvo and I graduated from the same class at the academy (in our own circles of friends with separate degrees). Arvo and I had a lot of our classes together, and we were great friends throughout our time at KP. (It's really hard to refrain from telling story after story at this point, like "remember the time...." LOL.....). Fast forward past graduation to Pensacola, where Sven and Arvo were both going through flight school together while I was living in New Orleans. They became great friends. Fast forward another few years, and who's the best man at our wedding? Of course, Arvo! (And, you know who Arvo marries? The girlfriend he brought with him to our wedding, of course!) You know how life gets busy: families, jobs, moves, etc, etc. We don't correspond or see Arvo and his family nearly as often as we would like. So, when Arvo calls out of the blue and asks if we have time to see him during a layover at the airport, the answer is a most definite YES! Arvo, it was so nice spending a few hours with you. Let's do it again soon!
