This is my father. Many of you who follow me may remember him. I've come to find out that he was someone you liked a lot or didn't like at all-at least, that is what I have been told. I do know that he wasn't impressed by one's "stuff" but rather by what kind of person one was.I think he judged people on  how honest they were with themselves--how well they knew themselves--their integrity (something that is very rare these days).  His influence on me has been monumental and is evident in several of the characters in my books.  Thank you, Daddy.
