From her grandma she learns to laugh and keep a sense of humor about even an embarrassing situation.
"My Air Force Mom" Throughout the pages of "My Air Force Mom," author Mary Lee introduces the reader to the various customs and practices of life in the Air Force - all through the eyes of little eight year old Susie.
