She Said Yes!

Michele Kelley of Weesatche, TX thought she was just out for a Saturday of fishing on the Port Oconnor jetties with her boyfriend Gregory Hunt of Seadrift when she noticed a US Coast Guard 25’ Response Boat approaching them. The Response Boat first sounded its sirens and lights while dropping a banner off its port side asking, “Michele Kelley Will You Marry Me.” Gregory Hunt then dropped to one knee, asking her to marry him. All she could do was fall in his arms crying, shaking her head “yes” as cheers rang from the Response Boat crew, Then the Response Boat continued on with its patrols.

Ms. Kelley is the daughter of Vaughan and Donna Kelley of Weesatche and is currently attending college at Victoria. Recently finished with his four years service in the US Coast Guard and two years obligation still pending, Petty Officer Gregory D. Hunt, son of Wesley Hunt of Seadrift, was stationed at New Orleans Sector, Station Venice La. and currently also attending college at Victoria.

The couple would like to thank Senior Chief Jennings, Petty Officer Crabb, Petty Officer Hernandez, Petty Officer Usma, and Firemen Taylor.
