Carotio, that is a lovely picture.

Patti, those are great stories, it is the "real life" events that create our personal landscape, and those tihngs are so nice to hear about, it makes your father and your life with him and your family connections to his career and work come alive for all of us. Many do not realize that that connection of the heart to those ashore keeps those afloat strong and going forward esp when things are tough.

Re the sonar, that is a great story to hear for two reasons, my father in law was one of the men who did the pioneer research in to sound speed theory and sonar that allowed the development of modern submarine sonar technology, and he used to tell many stories himself about the "biologicals" ie whales and other sea life that make sounds...for they helped him study and learn how to use that science to apply to the research that led to improvments and application to submarine sonar. That was a great story to hear.

Hope eveyone is squared away and having a great day!

It was great to hear from you and to know that your father in law had so much to do with the sonar. What an amazing man he is too. We are doing alot better as I said in another post it is so great to read all these posts about Dad and there are some things that I have learned from reading these posts and on a down day they really pick me up. Your work is great
