My father and I have a tumultuous relationship. I went many years without speaking to him and then only tolerated him because he was married to my mother. Recently however we have been getting along much better. I can call him now when I'm installing a ceiling fan and don't understand the wiring, or if I am about to renew my mortgage and need someone to explain all the options to me.
Because of my father I went to French school and became bilingual, I learned to cross-country ski, and he helped develop my love for nature and the great outdoors.
Happy 73rd Birthday Dad.

This is such a sweet, honest & loving post. I hope he had a happy birthday. :)
So Andy, you are approaching your 75 birthday as am I. I was also born on July 20, 1936 in Lewiston Maine. My time was about 3 minutes before midnight. How about you? We don't know each other, Andy. I was simply doing some casual Googling and typed in July 20, 1936 and your site was the first to appear. I'm sure that you are a very nice man - nice people born on that date. Be well,
