Looking for someone driving to Charlottesville
Tue, 01/26/2010 - 2:43pm
Hello! My son and I are new to FUMA and I have had some problems finding a good way to get him home for leave weekends.
We live in Morgantown, WV and the Amtrack goes right to Cumberland, MD which is a very easy drive for me to pick him up, but it will only do this in and out of Charlottesville. If anyone might be able to drop Casey off and pick him up in Charlottesville on leave weekends, please let me know.
I am more than happy to reimburse for time and gas.
Thank you,
Stephanie Wright
Mom of Casey Ehlert

Hi
I just saw your message about a ride to Charlottesville. Please let me know if we can help you.
My son comes home every time there is a leave weekend!

If you don't find any parents
If you don't find any parents already going that way by networking here on the FUMA 411, you can check with the Commandant's Office. They arrange private transportation for students needing to get to air and train in Charlottesville, although there may be a small cost associated with this service.
Suzanne,
Yes, you might very well be able to help, Thank you so much for replying!
Maj. Williamson said that there might be a group of boys needing to take the FUMA van this weekend, so I am still waiting to hear from him to see if there were enough to make it affordable. I am going to Fork Union on Friday to pick up Casey but he returns on Monday at 1:15 on the Amtrak. If this is a pick up you can do let me know. The FUMA van is $60 and private hire to FUMA is $75. I said that if there were a few boys then I would do that and share it, but otherwise it is too much.
My email is reader912@yahoo.com. I will keep you posted and thank you again, SO SO MUCH! I just try each time to get him the least complicated trip, and living in Morgantown, WV, nothing really comes this way. Everything is through DC and takes a long time for him to get back and forth.
He will need these rides frequently so I am very thankful to find someone who might be able to help.
