    my Dad

    yesterday would have been my Dad's 89th birthday. Yesterday was also the day we buried him 20 years ago. He was a big man - literally, at 6'7", 28 year Army veteran, game warden and craftsman and great cook! I still miss him even after all these years. Happy Birthday Dad-

    I haven't seen a "Ridgway cap" in years!
    You and your mom and siblings have my thanks; most folks don't know what the military family misses out on as the children grow up.
    And, of course, my prayers and my admiration for your dad.

    Mine will have been gone 30 years in Sept. He died way to young.

    Lost Dad on Jan 23 this year. I miss him, will never forget him, and know that he is with God.
