Nostalgia is an important component in my character. Father’s Day has me reflecting on all the Fathers in the family, past and present. One of my favorite quotes comes from Mark Twain – “When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.†All photos are family owned.
