[Jennifer in Florida]

I don't know why my pictures didn't post, but if you'd like to see them here's where they are, along with two graphics I made for 9/11:

The pictures are from the late 60's, my dad served in the army at the DMZ in Korea. When he came home he used his GI bill to buy a house and get his mom, dad and sisters out of the projects of Newark, NJ and into the suburbs.

He was a civil engineer and during the 80's worked for the Port Authority of NY and NJ at the World Trade Center. I'm sure he lost some friends on 9/11. We all moved to FL in the early 90's and he took a job for Collier County and helped design many roads and bridges locally. His last project, a bridge, is going to be dedicated to him by the county and his co-workers at a ceremony at the end of July, when the bridge construction is finished. He was taken from us in July 2001 at the age of 56.

I'm so sorry for your loss. My father died at 56 too. That's way too young to lose our inspiration.

Bless you, both. It hurts every year on Father's Day. Anyone who thinks that families don't need fathers has 1)never had a father, 2)still has a father, but enrolled in Women's Studies and is part of a brainwashed cult.

I now tell young "feminists" to make up with their fathers while they can. Hugs.
