Dad, I wish I could have been there for the big get together before you died. Thank you for my education. It was not mentioned that you had a civil engineering degree and masters degree in education from NCSU. You were one smart man! You loved your crossword puzzles and books. You always laughed about Murphy following you around (look up Murphy's Law). I loved your sense of humor. It was a sense of humor only your family could love !(LOL). Thank you for the memories of the boat, Pegasus, for all the hugs and kisses, Gerri
