Judy, your Dad was my 6th grade teacher. He really was so proud of his family,his military service and he gave your mother credit for both... He signed in the first day of school: Lt. Col. Albert Landis. He always shared the good things you did. You were like an invisible big sister paragon. Rest in peace,give your Dad a hug.
