I was lucky in a way,  I came back from College and started farming with my Dad, so I was able to get to know him pretty good for a few years.

I came down to my Dad and Moms early one morning and was starting to feed cows, I had talked to my Dad on the phone earlier and he wasn't feelin well , so  I told him I'd go ahead and feed that morning,  I stopped in and visited for 30 minutes, got up started to leave and walked over to the door to leave,  turned around and told my Dad I loved him,  before I could go out the door he had a heart attack and was dead,  we called an ambulance and I gave him CPR till the ambulance got there, but he was gone.

I was 25 when he died, he was 59,  he had heart trouble through his life, he had scarlet fever as a kid and it had affected his heart.  my son had just turned 1 a few days before my Dad died,  my son turned 34 this year,  Dad's been gone longer than I knew him, so I'm kinda like Tex in that I kinda got cheated out of going through a life time with Dad.
We done it for Dixie,  nothing else

Well I guess I can't say much, mine is still here an we have become friends since my Mom passed, and I'm lucky to have had that opportunity.  It wasn't always like that but we both seem to have grown into each other over the years.  Imagine two of the most stubborn rams in the field buttin heads fer 30 years.  Then one day they realize they aint so differnt from one another.  That's about the best I can explain it.

I wasn't born until after WW2, because Dad was overseas. He was 29 when I was born and 59 when he died. He lived long enough to see me initiated into the Masons and to become a Detective. He wound up doing a purty good job as Sheriff. They made some drug raids and busted up a lot of burglary rings. He was the only candidate that had not been in LE, but he still won the election and got re-elected.

It's kinda how I always wanted things ta be but with Mom there too instead of the asian housekeeper.  I even remember the names of the kid's goldfish.  There's some trivia fer ya, prolly can't even find it on the innernet.

My brain retains the strangest things.

How the hell I can remember that I can not say.  I haven't seen that show since I was about 7.  Mebbe even younger than that.

A lot of the old TV shows that I watched as a kid are not available on DVD or reruns. Some of the Westerns are available. I was lucky a couple of months ago to to find the complete series of "Highway Patrol" with Broderick Crawford on DVD.

Leo, I had one of those 77 Dodge Monaco's with the 440 in it. That thing was a Rocket. Mine was dark green and it only had a red spot light.  What ever happened to Adrian Zmed?
