The Eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month…
Happy Veteran’s Day!!! And thank you to all who serve or have served to protect our liberties and ensure our freedom!
That would be my dad, fearlessly defending the Panama Canal in 1968 with his trusty Smith-Corona typewriter and birthday cake! 🙂

Looks like German Chocolate cake. Yum! 😉 Such a handsome man… totally see you in him.
Nice new site design. 😉 Try to see someone do THAT with a Smith-Corona typewriter! (On the other hand, I’d like to see WordPress try to defend the Panama Canal!)
I remember that there was a mango tree right outside the office and on the first day your dad took me to meet the “crew” that he worked with, we had one heck of a mango throwing fight. The Balboa Yacht Club was half a block from the office and we ended up there for some pop and pretzels. The picture sure brings back happy memories. Howie use to call Panama the “arm pit of the world”. He always had a way with words. Oh yea, by the way, that Smith-Carona was top of the line.:-)
