Thanks man, my dad was great.
He was 'one of us'
Most military dudes, drink, play cards, drink (wait, I said that) some more.
Hell, he taught me what 'the hook' is in football when betting the games when I was just twelve years old.
He was just like me, he played sports, bet sports, but had this incredible math/engineering mind.
He used to have a shelf full of nothing but math formulas and such.
He retired as top dog, chief major engineer running the old Military Ocean Terminal Base (MOTB) in Bayonne NJ, across from the old Brooklyn Navy Yards.
MOTB is in drydock now.
It's military days are done.
Dad ran this operation.
