I know I am getting nostalgic and at almost 79 I don’t care what you think but I think I should say thanks to my Dad because things have come together in my mind lately that make me want to give him credit for all
the things he did for me.

He gave me good genes, I have out lived the mortality tables, he bought a farm in early 1941 where I learned so much about nature and life it would take volumes to explain, the farm was only a few miles from the local airport and I learned so much by just listening to the flying tales that were told that it made my flying career in the Air Force a piece of cake. Every thing I was asked to do was easy, except a few times when the bullets got to close in Vietnam.

All in all life has been great and I credit my parents and the early surroundings and the many mentors that have taken me under their wings, so I guess I have had many father figures over the years that have in one
way or another have been part of my life and contributed so much that feel compelled to say Thanks Dads

I love you all… Bob
