Thank you all.

I wrote that because I wanted to tell the world what a great guy he was, but I just ended up being consoled by you all. It feels good, thank you.



LePaul,

He invented a kit/board to go along with a math textbook sold in Texas. He ended up as the CEO of a company called Weber Costello. They made almost all of the white (dry erase) boards and chalkboards and stuff like that for years. They were bought out by Echo recently.

I'm off to Missouri.

One of the best obits/testimonials I've ever seen.  Deepest sympathy, but what a great legacy.

The father cycle, provided you are blessed with a good one:


Tot: My dad's better than your dad.

Teen: You think your old man sucks, sheesh you should getta load of mine.

Twentyish: Maybe I was wrong about Dad, he's not completely useless.

Much Later: I wish I had listened to my father a lot more when I thought I knew everything, and I hope I can live up to his memory.


Condolences, MT. Be greatfull you had such a hero.
