Hard to believe that Dad has been gone for ten years as of yesterday. Seems like just a few years. I was really hoping that I'd be able to spend more time with him now that I am retired, but that was not to be.
East Carolina University lost one of its greatest fans and he still has a scholarship in the business school. A child of the depression, he was always mindful of his money.
And, Dad loved working in his yard and playing the stock market. I guess he wouldn't be so fond of it now.
Then there were those great stories he would tell. I sure wish I could reel them off like he did.
I can still see him sitting out on that sun porch.
I'll be visiting his grave next week.
While I was visiting Mom this past April, she showed me a manuscript Dad had typed which I imagine was part of a job application. I put it on another blog of mine, http;//cootershistorything.blogspot.com. Go to April 7, 2008. It is in three parts.
Interesting reading. My Dad was quite the go-getter.
Sure Glad I Had Him as My Father.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
