Hey Now!!! Thanks for the Birthday wishes Debbie, I had many Family members here to celebrate my 59th Birthday today. This one was the most special as I outlived my Dad. To make a long story short he passed when he was 58. I remember that day so vividly just like it was yesterday. I had a temporary Gov't job at the Dayton VA Center back then and did concrete work that summer. I remember sitting in the back of a pickup truck at work that day thinking I am 29 and my life is half over. I later received a message to call home and Pam had told me my Dad had passed away. He had retired 10 days previous and was just 58 years old. Upon receiving that news I was determined to retire when I was 58 and hopefully outlive my Dad. I retired on my 58th birthday and today I am 59. I met my goal to retire when I was 58 and today at 59 I outlived my Dad. He was my Hero then and today he still is my hero. He received a Bronze Star with a V for Valor and Heroism in the Korean War. Now that he is gone I just thank God I was Blessed enough to Know him and call him Dad!!! I am sure he would have approved of me continuing my career with the Department Of Defense. Thanks to all of you for al the Support and Goodtimes you have given Pam and I. I am especially Thankful that Forrest Sibley is home on leave and our Little Brother Frankie Bootleg will soon return home to his wife Jen from the Devil's Playpen. May God watch over us all and may God Bless America!!!! Peach.
