Hi Ellie, my condolences to you and your family on the loss of your father, and what a wonderful man he was! It is clear where at least half of your brilliance and get-go came from. I saw his picture in the UT and knew immediately that was your dad - the eyes, the face. A life well spent, so inspirational, and such a rarity these days. Take care, Sharon

Thank you for your service. My grandfather Charles Hutson served in Navy during Korean war and my other grandfather Eddie Childers was US Army in the same conflict. From a long line of military men and women in my family I am forever grateful for your sacrifice through the years.
