I do believe he would have been proud of my meager achievements, especially as a young man and an aspiring navigator. A major impetus for my ok accomplishments as I matured was my desire to live up to his and my mom’s expectations.
One other quick credit to my dad. He is directly responsible for my love of classical music. Some items he left me that I played over and over were 78 rpm phonograph records. They included Strauss’ waltzes, The Blue Danube and Tales from the Vienna Woods, also Rossini’s William Tell Overture ( Lone Ranger music). Finally, the album “Peter and the Wolf” by Prokofiev. Narrated by Basil Rathbone, a famous movie and radio actor, who I remember as the voice of Sherlock Holmes
Enuf. Thanks again ❤️

Just think about how his memory and stories about his life and personality made you into the man you are today. I can’t help but think your Sears Roebuck mgr. father would have gotten a real kick out of your career as a navigator flying around the world, not to mention the family you and Marjorie built together.
