Corpsman Christopher Rusaw was home in
Hannibal on leave in July for two weeks. Christopher is the son of Chris and Sue Voutsinas Rusaw(both formerly of Parish). While visiting Christopher and his father, Chris sky dived with friends at Blue Sky Adventures. They had a great time and will be doing it again next year! Sue, Reagan and Karina watched them. They tried to get Sue to go, but she just couldn't get her feet off the ground. Christopher & girl friend Heather DiSanto also visited with his grandparents Ethan and Pat Rusaw of Brewerton (formerly of Parish), and Robert and Ziska Voutsinas of Parish. Christopher is now stationed at Camp Lejeune Naval Hospital .
