Congratulations John and pass that sentiment along to Mary too. My dad was 54 when I was born. He retired when I was about 12 so we were able to spend more time together than a lot of other kids did with their dads. My brother and I toasted him on what would have been his 100th birthday in 2003. He wasn't there in body having passed away a few years before, but he was there in our memories and in spirit. And in spirits as we toasted him with his preferred brand of whiskey. On Apr 4, 2005 10:39 PM, John W.
