Now knowing my wife like I do, after all we have been wed for just gone 26 years, she will want to get matching towels, flannels. (adding up on fingers and toes coz abacus is broken. Man/Woman to fit floor tiles etc, £50.00 (est.) Man/Woman to plumb in towel heater rail: £60.00 (est.) Man/Woman to fit tiles: Probably £250.00 (est.) Tiles, grout, adhesive, trim: £333.00 (est.) To fit extractor fan: £80.00 (Already done!)įitments and fittings: Oh I don't know but probably around the £100.00 mark A little bit of an estimation here, including costs that not may, but will, be incurred. My wife's estimates are usually estimated down the lower end of the scale so I decided to do a quick check of costs so far and to be. Her estimate: Somewhere around the £500.00 math. My shoulders slumped as the price of a new bathroom was revealed. 'And how much is the bathroom going to cost me?' I asked with bated breath and leaned against the back of the sofa in fear of collapsing at the exclamation that soon emitted from my wife. It was at this point that I also realised why the back of the car looked a little weighted down and there were bags and pots in the passenger compartment. After much deliberation, all of a few seconds, I realised that the delights of the shower are now just a distant memory and something to look forward to in the future. It is that time of the year I suppose where the wife gets bored and decides that she wants something to do and must have a stash of cash burning a hole in her purse. 'What is the mad woman up to now?' I thought further. Her Mother, in her infinite wisdom has decided that it would be fun to rip all the tiles from the wall and take away the shower head. Me, not a further thought of the shower, my stomach having a vested interest in what was nestling in the oven. It was my youngest who revealed the devestating news of what her Mother had been up to whilsy I slaved away earning teh family crust. I enter the chez Dohoo and exclaim to the better half 'I'll have me dinner and then have a shower.' 'Dinners in the oven.' she said. I notice that it is somewhat laden down with what I know not. Providing the packaging, our time and assistance for the West Point Class of 1960’s 60th reunion was an honor for me, for Michael Kaplan, our President, and for Rocket as a company.So I come home and have to pass the car. I was humbled and touched by John Denton and Steve Waldrop’s recognition of Rocket Box’s efforts and the plaque given to me on behalf of West Point Class of 1960. KIA or Killed In Action follows the name of far too many graduates from West Point names. KIA is one acronym that in most cases is sadly unique to West Point and the other Service Academies. “West Point’s Alumni have many of the same acronyms. “Colleges pride themselves on their Alumni and the acronyms that follow their names: PHD, CPA, MD and so on,” said Andrew Kaplan, Vice President, Rocket Box. With over 300 photographs, a full-length video and more than 20 personal videos from classmates retelling their experiences and memories of West Point, the memory stick deserved an impressive and thoughtfully designed container to house it. Contained in the box was a custom-designed, 16GB flash drive that holds photographs and personal memories of the former cadets’ four years at West Point.

Rocket Box enthusiastically donated time and resources to create a beautifully designed black jewelry box, embossed with the 1960 Class Crest. Due to the pandemic, the reunion was held virtually in the Spring of 2021.Īs a result of the former classmates not being able to meet and reconnect personally increased the impact and importance of the Memory Box. (PRESS RELEASE) NEW YORK - Rocket Box, a leader in innovative packaging and display for the fine jewelry market, was selected to design and manufacture a unique ‘Memory Box’ for the 60th reunion of the West Point Class of 1960.
