Portrait of dad

It’s Father’s day, which has me thinking of dad again. It was a year ago last Sunday that we held his wake, so he’s been close in my mind again recently. My ankle’s been giving me fits again, so this was a weekend mostly spent on the couch with the laptop wrapped in ice, but that gave me an excuse to go rummaging through the family photo collection and start working at organizing it again.

So here are a couple of photos for Father’s Day, one from 1962 and a family trip to the Seattle World’s Fair of my dad and myself. For this trip, I’m 4 — far too young to have even rudimentary memories of the trip, but I’ve always had a strong affection for the Pacific Northwest, so it was interesting to run into photos showing us up there. Someday, with a bit of luck, Laurie and I will relocate further north and get out and away from The Valley – but not for a while, there’ still so much here to get done.

For today, a couple of pictures out of the family archive, my dad and I at the hotel in Seattle, 1962, and a picture of my grandfather. These were the two fathers in my life growing up, and a huge factor in the parts of me that ended up going well; the bad parts are all my fault for not being smart enough to listen to them…

Happy Father’s day to all of the fathers out there, and to everyone, don’t forget to celebrate your father and let them know what they mean to you…
