Dad
Dad's life is fairly well documented in images, and only a selection can be includedhere.
Some are very old and grainy, and little can be done to improve them.
If there are time periods from his life that are under!represented here, they wouldbe his work life and his life in Hawaii. His work life is less well!photographed, asis true for most people. Of hundreds of pictures of his 47 years in Hawaii, only afew are included here, because, while they may be interesting, they are somewhatrepetitive.
The images here are mostly chronological, and most of them include Dad. Thereare a very large numper of photos that he is not in, because he took the picture.

Thanks, Dad.
Thanks for keeping us all together, and moving us to all the exciting places we went.

Thanks for teaching both Ned and me about business and investing.
Thanks for teaching us that everyone can be our friend.
Thanks for doing so much for all the people you touched, including both family members andnon!family members.
Thanks for moving us to Hawaii, which was a wonderful place for your three kids to grow up.
