The Dutchman's father, from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is with us for Christmas! He is 87 years old, next month 88 years old and is a joy to have with us. His eyesight is not so good and yet he traveled all day yesterday, changing planes in Phoenix and arrived safe and sound and happy to be here. His son is so much like him: same sense of humor, work ethic, solid faith and practical jokester. Dad continues to work two days a week at the Food Bank and that's where they call him Mr. Al. or some call him Sweet Al. His sons call him Big Al. So Big Al he is, although today he told me he is getting shorter. Ah...old age does that to us...but he is one man who is still big on personality!
