Dad

Last October before I moved, I went to visit my Mom, who lives near Clearwater Florida. While I was there, she shared all kinds of photos with me, including these two of my dad:



My dad taught elementary school until the mid-1960's, first in Florida, then Indiana. The photo on the left was taken before I was born. The one on the right, I want to say, was taken around 1962. Not sure which tie I like better. With the glasses, definitely the ones on the left.

He taught all of my siblings, but not me. He made a career switch by the time I got to first grade.

He died in 1980, when I was still in undergraduate. I'm older now than he was in either of these photos. Soon I'll be as old as he was when he died. I miss him.
