Who is your Daddy and what does he do....

[Panthers_Lover]

My dad is deceased but he was a newspaper editor and former publisher. Spent his entire career at one place, from cub reporter right up to publisher; his favorite "job" there was as editorial director, meaning he wrote the editorials.

He was the first in his family to go to college, going on the GI Bill. He had been a P-51 pilot in the Japanese Theater in WWII -- learned to fly a plane before he learned to drive a car. The only time he refused a direct order was when he was told to drive a general or something from one place to another -- he finally had to explain that he couldn't drive.

He went into journalism because he knew how to type -- by chance, he had been one of a few students in school to have been selected to take a typing class.

His favorite word was "serendipity," probably because that's what he thought his life was ... serendipitous ... but the truth is, he was an extremely intelligent man, the son of a mill worker and a former moonshiner-turned-lay preacher, who made the best of his humble circumstances and excelled.

In the last 8 years of his life, my dad became increasingly debilitated from stroke-related dementia (most people thought he had Alzheimer's). It's heart-wrenching when a man whose life-long love and career were his words, and by the end he couldn't communicate at all. Just as with Alzheimer's, it was the long goodbye.

Been a phone technician (switches, big systems, etc.) for almost 40 years now. Essentially on his own at 14, married his high school sweetheart (my mom), worked his ass off year in and year out, and now he and my mom have built themselves a very nice life. Not without his flaws, but probably one of the best fathers a kid could ask for.

My dad is deceased, but he was an educator. Coached football in his early years while teaching math, then became a high school principal. He retired and started rebuilding antique cars.
