Classmates, now friends through military service

After graduating from Shawnee Mission West High School, Overland Park, Kan., Rebecca Smiley, now Blackwell, enlisted in the military and is now an Air Force flight surgeon and pediatrician. On her current deployment to an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia, she reunited with a classmate and fellow graduate, Heather Shuey, now a veterinarian in the U.S. Army Reserves. Although not close during their high school years, their military service gave them common ground and has formed the basis of a friendship 23 years later. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt.
