The Special Event on Tuesday night was for Midway VIP's - the Admiral said a few approiate words - see below as he addresses the group:

There were a few honored guests: Admiral Mixon - former Capt of the Midway, Vern Jumper - former Air Boss, and Bob Solomon - former Chief Petty Officer. They all got a chance to speak from the podium.

Then they cut the ribbon to the latest open area on the ship open for public tours. The new areas include Officer's Quarters, the Ward Room, Ship's Laundry, and the Chief's Mess. Here is the group at the ribbon cutting:

Then we gave walking tours for those guests that wished. My group was the best, of course.
