Dad did love to write poems. When he worked at NSA he belonged to a group called the Bent Crank Society. He always wrote funny poems about his co-workers who were getting awards or retiring. I think they even had a bent crank award.
This is priceless Maureen. The 50th wedding anniversary was a real highlight and this poem I distinctly remember your father reading. I am SOOOOOO happy that you put it on the website because it was truly the BEST part of the anniversary. Your father was the BEST and this poem was a masterpiece. I have video of their 50th anniversary (but of course no sound) and your father is in the video. I am going to try to have it put on a DVD-R to scan it on this website. What a fabulous memory. One, your father was the greatest and two, he really was a poet!!!! Love Donna.
WOW!!! You win the prize Maureen. Reading that was priceless. What a great post. I hope everyone gets to read this, it just shows what a great time they all had, and how lucky we all are (and barely knew it). Thanks for posting this, I had tears in my eyes.
