Your dad was such a fun loving person, always laughing, never met a stranger. He was the first Portell I met. His family lived only two blocks from mine. He gave me my first ride on a motorcycle back in 1965. I burned my leg on the muffler. Back then, he introduced himself as 'Maynard'. Of course, you had to have watched the TV sitcom, Dobie Gillis to understand. Maynard was a Gilligan type character (Gilligan's Island), played by the same actor.
