El Kyoto...

Happy Father's day to you too! The younger kids took Dad out to dinner and the oldest called from Chicago. Got some very funny cards....they all have great senses of humor.

I watched Tom Brokaw last night narrating the show about Father's Day and the Great Generation. There were some wonderfully moving stories of kids (my age) finding out about their father's past in WWII some of whom died and others still living. It made me think of my Dad driving a 150ft boat fresh out of college in the Navy with combat experience in both the Mediterranean Sea and the South Pacific. These guys had to grow up fast, knew what it meant to watch out for eachother and had a deep sense of patriotism in the true sense...(not flag waving). It's been over a year since he died and it was great thinking about him again.
