Happy 85th Birthday, Dad.

Elroy would have been 85 years old yesterday. In November, he’ll have been gone for 10 years, and the power of his personality and drive for good, ethical work continues to impact me everday.

Still unraveling my memories and feelings about Dad after all these years, but he taught me so many outstanding lessons I’m trying to pass on to my children. It’s been good to think of him with loving thoughts this week.
