Father's Day 2006

It's Father's Day and it's hard to believe that my dad has been gone six years. He was born in 1916 and married my mom in 1940.

Dad served in the Navy during World War II and then worked for the Veteran's Administration. He later worked for the Census Bureau but retired early due to disabling manic depression. Eventually he recovered enough to have an enjoyable retirement in which he and my mother took long camping trips through the eastern USA and Canada. In their old age they lived at Cameron Glen in Reston.

I previously wrote about his family history at Suiter Genealogy and Morton Genealogy.
