Today is my Dad’s 78th Birthday. I thought I would share some pictures with you of him throughout his life.
Funny story about this picture. Dad told me on several different occasions that Aunt Jane was always tugging on his ear, and he couldn’t stand it. When Aunt Jane let me borrow some photo albums to scan, I found this gem. There she is, tugging on his ear. Dad was mortified more about the dress though. HA!

You can find his stats on baseball.com, but he says they aren’t right, they don’t have all his games listed.
