If you ever need someone to fetch the tools and hold the flashlight, I'm your guy! But he had enough vision, and common sense, to allow me to learn from many great sources. Boy Scouts, Sunday School teachers, ball coaches, school teachers, etc. Maybe he knew they could do a better job of teaching me the life skills in which they specialized and he could concentrate on feeding, clothing, housing, paying my way to be around some of those other teachers, and most important, being a good husband/father and staying with my Mom. In other words, being my Dad. Best Always, Jamie Pope Dave, my own father didn’t take the time to teach me many of the things that, in hindsight, I felt that he could.
