Today is Father's Day, and in honor of this special holiday I am featuring a photograph of my sister Susan and my late father, Nelson, which I took back in the late 1970s in Key West, Florida, most likely somewhere near Mallory Square around sunset. Susan and I had flown down from Chicago to visit our parents, who had recently moved to a condo in Stuart, Florida, and the four of us decided to take a road trip to Key West. My father was a dentist and hated it. When he was finally able to retire, he and our mother Mary moved from Chicago to Stuart, where our Uncle Bill (my mother's brother) and Aunt Elsie had retired to from Cleveland 4 years earlier. Dad and my Uncle Bill used to play golf together when our families would vacation up in Canada every year, and now they finally had the chance to play whenever they wanted. Dad had 7 years of retirement down in Stuart before he passed away, and happily, enjoyed every minute of it. I hope everyone who is able will have a wonderful day with their father and family, and value their time together. Happy Father's Day!
