Crystal, I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. My best memory of him is before he went to Vietnam, he stayed with my mom and Dad (brother Al) and he taught me how to waltz by letting me stand on his feet and dancing around the living room. He can't have been 20 but he was so tall and grown up to me. It's always how I think of him. Sending love and light, Mary Beth
