Robert (Red) and Dianna (Dian) Haskell

During the 48 years of their married life, Dian and Red Haskell have moved frequently due to their time spent in the military.  

Dian as an “Army Brat” gained great understanding and respect for military families and the military way of life.  She proudly fell into the routine required of being a Navy wife during Red’s approximately 30 years of service aboard seven ships and three shore-duty stations; he often stayed at sea for up to six months at a time.  After his retirement as Chief Warrant Officer-4, Red accepted employment with the Commonwealth of Virginia, where he remained for 20 years.  

The many friendships built through years spent in the service are the center of the Haskells’ fond career memories.
