Your Dad was present so many years at the AACN seminars ( American Association of Critical Care Nurses) ( at ETMC ). We appreciated his dedication to assist us in our seminars. You even came one year and the nurses all were able to take pictures with you. He was so proud of you and the man you had become in this world. He will be missed, you were very lucky to have learned from him.
