As I have done every March 17 since I started this blog, I am wishing my Dad a Happy Birthday.
It is a tradition to note my previous similar posts on this special day. And so, I am doing it again on this exceptionally noteworthy day.
This one is more special than most.
He would have been 100 years old today.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

As usual, I must point out that the earlier links were broken when I accidentally nuked all the posts I brought here from Blogspot in an effort to rebuff a spam attack. Thanks, Internet!

nk (a39bae) — 3/17/2025 @ 11:57 amAs my years have advanced, so too has been my respect for my father’s wisdom and accomplishments. I suspect that you would say the same.

I will raise a glass tonight to your father.

Can’t say it any better than #2 through #6 did, so I second all those comments, and all the best to you.
