my father, had he lived, would be 71 years old today. my mother told me that the other day. he passed on in 1970 at the very young age of 31. I was not quite five yet. I have memories of him, but none are that clear any more. the main ones I remember are watching Star Trek (the rock monster from the episode "The Savage Curtain" and Spider-man cartoons. thanks to mom transferring old 8mm film to video I can see him in action a lot more now.
many people when asked who they would want to meet out of anyone in history usually say "Jesus" or perhaps "Moses". I would love to meet my father.
this is the first time I've ever written about him to any degree, incidentally. I am glad I had the nearly five years to know him.
