HOME LIFE

Dad and Mom made a wonderful home and childhood for my sister Nancy and I.

A few of my memories:

On Sunset Island, Miami Beach

Golf with Dad at LaGorce or Riviera or Indian Creek

Playing catch with Dad and the last time when he said his bursitis was too bad

The biggest Christmas imaginable (of course Nancy always got more than I did!)

Tom Swift stories at bed time.

Dad whistling when he came home from work to let the family know he was home and running to jump in his arms.

A game of building forts and knocking down toy soldiers with marbles.

Saturday trips with dad to Gommy's.

The night I took the ski boat to Immaculatta for a teen dance (without telling anyone) and ran out of gas on the way home.

Playing chess ..... and beating him finally!
