Often there s a corner with Dad s dressed in tuxedos swapping war stories of mids dangling from helicopters or assaulting the beach at Hospital Point. Mom s gather to comment on the handsome young men and beautiful young ladies and compare notes on getting mids to and from Annapolis. The year winds up with the Dark Days Dinner, a social gathering in the bleak days of February when the mids are hunkered down, struggling under the burdon of a challenging academic program. Moms, dads, family and friends get together here in Colorado to bundle up care packages, a small box with some cookies or other reminders from home. Visit the COPA Calendar for details and current events.
