Ward Carroll spent the first 17 years of his life traveling wherever his father’s job as a Marine Corps attack pilot sent the family, a series of journeys that took them from California to Holland to Washington, D.C. with dozens of stops to attempt some semblance of normal life in between. His destiny was revealed to him during the summer of 1972 at a Who concert in Amsterdam; however, the ill-timed popularity of disco killed his fledgling rock star career in his late teens and pushed him into the United States Naval Academy from which he graduated in 1982. After a few years of flying around the world in the backseat of U.S. Navy jet fighters, Ward returned to the world of rock n’ roll, fronting The Cheaters, a three-piece alternative band based in Pensacola, Florida.

The Martha Stewart Holiday Show

December 1, 2010 by Wendy 1 Comment

Early on 30 Nov, our group of military spouses set off for New York City for an experience of a lifetime, to attend a taping of The Martha Stewart Show! They were so kind to invite our group as part of November Military Family Month, little did we know we would be part of Martha’s Holiday Show!!

Be sure to set your DVR’s for tomorrow’s Martha Show on the Hallmark Channel (1000am Dish Channel 185) to catch a glimpse of our group!!

Here are a few details of our amazing day:

After taking the train we arrived in Manhattan and walked to the Studio.

We found Macy’s and looked at all the wonderful holiday window displays.

Here we are outside the studio!

Finally we are inside the studio. It is filled with Christmas decorations and looks actually a lot smaller in person than on TV.

After Joey did an awesome job warming up the audience and listening to some cool hip-hop music, Martha was on set.

It was a fabulous experience! Here we are again outside the studio.

More photos of our adventure:

Unique facts about our group:

Most had never met prior to the trip
We had spouses from six boats, two shore commands and one IA spouse
In our group we had Navy spouses, one Army spouse and even a Marine Corps spouse

Look for a more detailed post after “The Holiday Show” airs December 2, 2010 at 1000am Eastern (Hallmark Channel), since we don’t want to spoil the highlights by letting you know all the amazing items we received!

Thank you Martha and crew for a fabulous experience!
