Happy Father's Day 2017

Dads, you are terribly missed. But you live on in our hearts.

....and I mean that in the most loving, generous and approving way.
Yesterday, Number 1 (and only) Son joined the ranks of licensed pilots.
Proving some dreams can be caught if you pursue them.

When people don't know what you mean,
They may laugh at you and call you green,
They say your words are stupid and your plans are only schemes
Truth is simple, but seldom ever seen,
Let nothing stand between
Simple Man, Simple Dream.
-J.D. Souther

Here He is in July getting some flight hours after he had soloed..

I'm sure his Grandfathers are smiling down upon him.
