ironic that it's the summer solstice on wednesday. >> we love that. thank you. there was an event last night honors a local man whose accomplishments are considerable. lots of people there had really nice things to say about him. what got my attention were a few words spoken by the man's 92-year-old father. his father still gets around. my impression was that he's old school, not inclined to expressing a lot of words of endearment, but not immune to feeling them. what the father said in so many words is that he is very proud of his son. i choked up a bit on that, and i was very happy for the man being honored, because with all the things that men want, one that is most prized is to make the old man proud. i think that's true for most of us, even if we didn't particularly like the guy, on if

he acted like he didn't like us, or if we hardly knew him. mine was in the latter category. for the first three years of my life he was in france in the army. for the next six he was in another war with demons that eventually and all too soon killed him. when he wasn't fighting, he was fantastic. a bear of a man. he used to like to throw me in the air all around, and i never once, not once was i ever afraid he wouldn't catch me. he was not afraid to let the child in him out. bought my a snare drum with a shoulder strap when i was 6. then he would get out there march up and down the street with me in front of everybody as i tried to beat out of a rhythm. most of the gifts were living things, he would say come here, boy, reach in his pocket and hand me a puppy, a kitten, a baby squirrel. a bird one time. one time he reaped a black

snake. i was cool with that too. my mom wasn't so happy, but she got over it. my old man was a plumber. when he let me go to work with him, i would try so desperately hard to get exactly right any task to which i was assigned. i was 9 years old when my father lost of battle with his demons. for the last 61 years, i've been trying to get it exactly right so he would be proud of me. i suspect i'm not the only one. happy father's day to all of you who know exactly what i
