Sending lots of hugs your way. This is such a lovely tribute to him. <br />My father traveled a lot too when I was little but only to the East Coast, nowhere exciting and exotic, like your Daddy. There would always be postcards with funny notes and gifts on his return. Thankfully my mom saved quite a few of the postcards and letters he sent to me. <br />What a wonderful and expansive life your father lived and also gifted you with. Thank you for sharing him with us. <br /><br />SallySally Annie Magundyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16150258920599400128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-55312290630219554142010-07-08T12:40:25.644-07:002010-07-08T12:40:25.644-07:00Hi Susan, just to see a hand written letter in its...Hi Susan, just to see a hand written letter in itself was a treat...but then to hear about your Dad was even better.
