Dear Dad, I had a lot of fun being your little sidekick as a kid. We drove around San Jose in our VW van in the 1970s. You had a lot of work to do—managing the apartment complex and working a full-time job on top of that. But there was always time for fun. We took trips to the dairy for fresh milk, 7-11 for Slurpees, and we took walks together around our neighborhood. It was our father-daughter time. You were the consummate editor—taking an interest in my writing and being my editor-at-large for school assignments as well as our wedding program. I enjoyed being in the choir as a kid with you as the director. We shared a love of musicals and I get my appreciation of classical music and opera thanks to you. Rest well, Dad. I ‘m going to miss you. Love, Lori
