The Fourth and my dad

My dads birthday was always over the 4th of July holiday and we spent it up in Hayward WI, fishing. Dad would have been 98 this year but we lost him a few years ago.

Some of my earliest memories of him were being with him checking his traps. We were taken to deer camp(archery 1949) as toddlers, my mom and aunt would take turns hunting and baby sitting after my two sisters came along mom became camp cook and teacher as my folks would pull us out of school for the week and make us do our homework in camp..

My dad was the perfect mentor, never expecting perfection and never forcing anything but making everything so interesting you couldn't help but getting hooked. Both my sisters still live in the forests of northern WI.

One of my favorite pics of my dad from the early 1950's. My sister found it not long ago and we each have one at home and she just put it on the computer.
