Our dad was a proud member of the IBEW for 66 years as an electrician. He started his apprenticeship with Miles City Electric, worked around Montana on various missile bases and eventually moved to Illinois where he retired at age 62 out of Local 176. You could usually find our dad in the garage. He always had a fridge with cold beer in it while he tinkered around. He liked to listen to old country music too.
Our mom had a multitude of talents. She was a wonderful seamstress. She tailor made a suit to fit her aunt with just measurements and a pattern. Her quilts were coveted at The Price Family Reunions as were her aprons. She also kept track of our family member's birthdays. She was everyone's go to for that information. She knew who had the best price on beer too! She could knit and crochet and loved a good recipe book
When our parents retired, they were snowbirds for over 25 years in Bullhead City, AZ. They were as independent as could be. They did what they wanted, when they wanted. Together they enjoyed gambling on penny slot machines, playing cards, a good buffet, and visiting family.
As my mom would say when she learned of someone passing on…." they had a good run".
