Tell us about something you particularly cherish about your father (?)

An outstanding characteristic ?

My dad could fix/build anything. He could look at something and figure out how to take it apart and in many cases improve on it. My grandfather brought home three non functioning Kodak 126 camera's that were being tossed out because they were broken. My dad pulled them apart and made one functioning camera out of them. He was also an incredibly patient man. Not prone to losing his temper. That's probably a good part of how he managed to fix things. I miss him, a lot.

Chuck, I'm only acquainted with you at this MTJ Forum distance , but I feel confident in saying that those positive characteristics you have elucidated about your father have been clearly evident in you in your numerous postings in our discussions on the forum.

And I have a feeling all the voices here would agree with me.

Your father is part of you, indeed. You embody the person you have described, sir.

Thank you very much!

I hate to disappoint you but patience is something that is coming to me pretty late in life. It seems more like "well, we've tried everything else" and we are now down to the last resort. :D.

You patiently tried everything else, and patience has won . :D
