On this day my father would have turned 86 and it would have been a fine party. Unfortunately he died three decades ago in 1993 and so went much too young. I do have two old photos of him taken the year before I was born that I had never before seen.

Not sure what these photos represent but they were taken shortly after his marriage to mom in Florida in September 1957, so I assume they were taken on their honeymoon. Fancy room and where did that bearskin rug come from?

Gee, I never knew about his early career of a big game hunter. Actually, I am guessing it was some honeymoon suite of some kind. Wish he was around to ask him about it. Still remembered but not fully known. Happy Birthday, Dad.
