listercat Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 My father was just shy of this generation; he is a Korean War veteran and raised myself, sister and brother in Rocky River...I cherish every day I can call and hear his voice or come home and spend some time.... Dante is such an effective representation of this population; a group of folks that in my opinion we can never really repay http://www.cleveland.com/pluto/blog/index....ything_but.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the right attitude. I lost my dad suddenly. No goodbyes. 7 years later it still hurts a lot. Never take him for granted. My dad was also a Korean war vet, by the way.

Beanpot Yeah, the fact he mentioned Rocky River bumped it to the top, but I would have said nearly the same thing if he told the tale while using an inferior city as a background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beanpot Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 BTW, Dante's shop was located directly next to the place that taught me how to drive a car. Remember that Lister? Those that decided to ignore the RRHS drivers ed (hand in the air) went to that "school" and were instructed to just kind of get by. Still can't drive stick. Bastards.

Guest 88fingerslewy Posted January 25, 2009 Report Share Posted January 25, 2009 Thanks Lister, Dad died 5 years ago right around Christmas. Alzheimers. For close to a year he thought I was someone he used to work with. That sucked a ton. Here's to our folks and what they showed us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
