    Thumbs up I just found this article about my Dad's retirement

    http://www.hawaiibusiness.cc/hb11200...m?articleid=17

    I'm so proud of him! The only thing they got wrong in the article is that Dad has 4 children and 5 grandchildren (they didn't include my foster sister and I really think they should have).

    That is so wonderful! I wish your Dad all kinds of fun and happy adventures as he retires. Now you have him all to yourselves.

    He looks like a great bloke and he also looks like a fisherman! No wonder you're so proud of him. Please wish him all the best for his retirement from me here on the Barrier Reef.

    Thanks all! Only 2 more days and I get to give my Dad a huge congratulations hug and kiss in person! I'm very excited about his retirement because it means I'll get to spend more time with him and Mom. We were not close when I was growing up but we have been making up for that in my adult years. I got Dad a special fisherman's t-shirt for his retirement and I know he is going to love it!
