NOW FOR A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MY DAD

THIS PAGE IS WRITTEN BY HIS OLDEST DAUGHTER "SUE"
FOR OVER THIRTY YEARS MY DAD WORKED FOR THE D.M.&I.R RAILROAD (DULUTH MISSABE & IRON RANGE). HE RETIRED IN 1983 AND HAS ENJOYED LIFE EVER SINCE. MATTER OF FACT HIS QUOTE WAS "THIS IS THE BEST JOB I EVER HAD.....SURE HOPE I NEVER GET FIRED". WELL DAD, I SURE HOPE YOU DON'T TOO!! DID YOU EVER HEAR THAT SONG "MY DAD"? WELL, IF I COULD SING I WOULD SING IT TO YOU DAD.

BACK IN HIS YOUNGER DAYS DAD LIKED TO HUNT, FISH AND WORK SOME MORE. FOR AS LONG AS I COULD REMEMBER HE WORKED 2 FULL TIME JOBS. IT WASN'T A VERY EASY LIFE BACK THEN. BUT, WITH FIVE (5) OF US KIDS TO RAISE I DON'T THINK HE THOUGHT HE HAD MUCH CHOICE.

THIS IS PROBABLY THE WAY MY DAD FELT MOST OF THE TIME WHILE RAISING US KIDS. NO WONDER HE DOESN'T HAVE MUCH HAIR LEFT. MAYBE HE SHOULD HAVE WORN A HELMET. ANYWAY DAD SORRY ABOUT ALL THE PROBLEMS I GAVE YOU AS A KID. BUT, I WOULD PROBABLY JUST DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN IF I HAD TO.

NOW THAT DAD IS RETIRED AND HAS BEEN FOR SOME 15 YEARS, HE DOESN'T WORK HARDLY ANT MORE (I GUESS HE HAD ENOUGH IN HIS YOUNGER YEARS) HE LIKES TO READ HIS WESTERNS AND TAKE NAPS. BUT, WHO CAN BLAME HIM. I THINK HE DESERVES A BREAK TODAY. DAD HAS LIVED TO BE THE OLDEST AND THE ONLY LIVING PERSON IN HIS FAMILY OF 9 BROTHERS. I THINK THIS IS PRETTY INCREDIBLE MYSELF. JUST GLAD TO STILL HAVE YA AROUND DAD.

HERE'S A BIG KISS FROM ALL YOUR KIDS

HERE ARE A COUPLE MORE THINGS DAD STILL ENJOYS. HE IS STILL WAITING FOR THEIR CLOTHES TO FALL OFF. SORRY DAD THIS IS NOT RATED-X. THEY ARE HERE FOR YOUR VIEWING ENJOYMENT ONLY. JUST KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
