He was however a Master Sergeant, a member of the last cavalry unit at Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio, very disciplined indeed. Mom carried on in his tradition raising us kids. We all ended up being independent thinkers, "stand on your own two feet" citizens.

Thank you for reading this so soon, and sharing this too. He must have been an awesome man and Dad - losing him so young must have been hard. The discipline you have showed here over the years .... I've always been struck by it, and now it makes a lot of sense. I have a hunch he is really proud of you up there.
