I knew your family when I was at Naval Hospital Guam back in 1973-74. You were about nine years old at the time and your sister was four. I'll never forget the great big Cheshire Cat smile on your dad's face when he would come to the barracks on Sunday morning inviting people to church. You, your mother and sister would wait in the old VW bus for whomever your dad could get out of bed. Sometimes we would have to crawl under the car with a big screwdriver and ground the starter motor against the chassis to get the thing going. Good times!
How are your mother and sister? I'm sorry to hear about your dad's passing.
