Happy Father’s Day, my son.]]> It wouldn’t let me write any more so I’ll reply to myself. My only reason for pushing you to fill out the application was that you told me you were interested. That’s not true. The primary reason was that it would have saved us a bunch on $$ we didn’t have. I knew you wanted aeronautical engineering. BTW. If I asked you “ Do you not want to go join the Air Force”? And you blurted, “. No”. That’s a double negative. Equals Yes LOL
My regret is that I did Not make it clear to you that I never wanted to pressure you to follow my “ accidental”. Life choice to have an Air Force career. My initial motivations were definitely based on my need for a secure pay check, while meeting the mandatory draft laws.
Of course I would have been proud to see you commissioned as an Air Force officer.But, I could not be more proud of the wonderful husband, dad, and top notch aeronautical engineer you’ve become. Your ears should have burned a bunch when you and Kiersten were in Seattle , and you were with Boeing. I must have bragged 100 times how my son was hired directly from U of I to go
To Boeing in Seattle. You and Kiersten have raised three absolutely gorgeous , intelligent, successful and , most of all, good and kind young ladies. Boy, would I have screwed that up. Your mom and I are so very proud of you both. So looking forward to seeing y’all at the beach in less than 2 weeks. ❤️❤️❤️

Love always,
Dad
PS. Happy Father’s Day, my son.

First, thanks for making this old man cry. ( just a little and safely ensconced in my bedroom.) Secondly, I’m now your editor and can say you made a couple errors. I never thought you were a lazy, irresponsible teen. I did know you were a teen, however, and by definition a procrastinator. I also conflated your era with mine in which the draft was an all-powerful factor in every young man’s life.
