Thank you for that.

Tonite I was working at my dad’s computer. He will be 88 on
Xmas Eve. He was a combat wounded WWII paratrooper.
Mom died a year and a half ago after 64 yrs of wedlock.
My older sister takes care of him.

His computer is in a room where he hangs plaques, career
momentos, and photos like the 24x20 of him, Governor Reagan,
and three other men he can’t recall the names of in the Gov’s
office. As Pop walked by me he asked if I had known he holds
a PhD in vocational agriculture education? I said “ Sure Dad,
your diploma is hanging right there.” He replied “I saw that
this morning but I didn’t know.”

I couldn’t help but shed a tear as I read your message

God Bless your father and you.
