Ralph Heaton, who had just returned from a year's deployment in Afghanistan. Coordinated by the Olympic View staff members Lt. Col. Heaton greeted the teary-eyed sisters as the member of the 7th Infantry Division was welcomed with a large round of applause and cheers as he entered the Lacey school's library with their mother Andrea. The Heaton's plan to enjoy the reunion time as they have a busy early summer with Lt. Col. Heaton accepting a post transfer to Oklahoma in June after the school year ends here.
