Happy Birthday to my Dad!

he is 83 today... and I wish I could be with him. He was a wild young man in Vermont, went to Japan in 1946 and then came back to drive truck until he retired. Until this past year and knee surgery, he walked miles each day. He told me last trip that he is leaving much of his money to DAV (Disabled American Veterans) and I told him I was real proud of him for doing that... he's a good democrat and a fine man. Anyone that can, please give your dad a hug for me today :-)

one of his Model-T Fords
