What a loving, moving, thoughtful piece Doug. Thank you. Can I safely assume that the painting at the top of your piece was done by your father? It is stunning, beautiful.

Thanks, Jim. Yup, that was one of his. He had a distinct style and a command of composition.

More complicated than a few hundred words could express, but honest to a point. My memoir tells more.
