Is your father dead? Alzheimers? I thought I detected that near the end. He was a dillweed too.

My father passed away several years ago........a typical representative of "The Greatest Generation". He was the hardest working, most fair, honest, humble and self reliant man I have ever known. He was my constant inspiration.....even though I knew I could never be even half the man he was. His story could easily have been in the Brokaw book......although it would have been difficult dragging it out of him. The WW2 vets are nearly all gone now. If anyone out there knows one.....treasure the limited time left. Talk to them. Get their stories. Pass them on to future generations. I too believe....we will NEVER see another generation like them. I hate to think what could have been had our current generation been faced with the same task.

P.S.....bentway added to my "do not engage" list
