Johnny, the day you started this thread I went back and re-read some of your father's Mudcat postings. Even those who never met him in person could tell from his writing what a special man he was. I lost both my parents when I was too young to be prepared - take care of yourself. Check in here with this forum group whenever you can, and I am sure you will be able to make some heart-felt connections. You have had a remarkable father, one to be proud of, lessons and memories to cherish.
