And lest we forget, Ima, some of us have grandMOTHERS who ferried those planes to Europe inorder for the fighting machine to get resstocked as the planes rolled off the assembly lines in the USA and were delivered overseas. I, too, enjoyed RR's wonderful sharing and masterful recounting of his experience with his two sons. So much parenting takes place in the daily minutae, but sometimes we get the privilege of creating those memories deliberately. Rick's account reminds me of the effort and thrill I had setting foot on Dad's warship, USS Missouri, docked in Astoria, OR last year, on it's way to the "Maritime Museum" off Hawaii. Those teakwood decks he trod and swabbed, and the untold hours he spent in the bowels of that great ship, as one of 3 storekeepers...and THE purveyor of the condoms before shore leave...for which he almost got court martialed for... ...but that's another tale for another time. Sounds like you are walking tall in your Dad's footsteps, Rick!!! While this is Father's Day weekend, and this is MY first one EVER without my Veteran Dad, let us all, whether we had great Dad's, knew our Dad's at all, or got to spend enough time with our Fathers to see them as valuable individuals, in peacetime and wartime... Let us honor: ...the "male qualities" according to our diverse culturalizations in all our androgenous manifestations! ...each of us as adult parents and providers ...those of us who have been and continue to be BOTH Father and Mother to our offspring, whatever the reason! NOW, I'm primed and a'waitin' fer Grandparent's Day!!! ...brace yerself, porchers...<g> Selah O/49r
