Letters from TAPS: From Special Events and Communications
By Kyle Harper, MA, Director of Special Events and Communications

TAPS Magazine |

Dear TAPS Family,

I first met Mike in the winter of 2005-2006. I had moved to Girdwood, Alaska, about an hour south of Fort Richardson and worked at Alyeska Resort—the only ski resort in the state. My rules were that I didn’t date Army guys, but Mike’s sister assured me he was a great person. He was sitting at a table with others and I liked his southern accent. We soon discovered that we had both lived in the same town in Georgia. He asked me out and for our first date, he showed up wearing shorts (in Alaska, in the winter!). He was protecting his new tattoo from rubbing on his clothing. After three weeks he told me he loved me.
