So as the story goes, several years ago I was trying to talk Dad into getting a computer and he asked me why he needed one. Trying to find some examples I told him he could store all his addresses on it. He reaches into his back pocket and pulled out a little book and told me he had them all right here and asked me if I wanted to race. Forget it Dad.

Fast forward and we finally got him on the internet and hooked up with email so he could stay in contact with his Coast Guard buddies. It was a good thing as the next few years were tough at times and this outlet was a blessing. After a long battle Joan went to be with the Lord and Dad was a widower. It’s hard for me to imagine the feeling.  After a year of healing Dad decided he didn’t want to be alone and, well, I can’t blame him. Well one thing led to another and like I say “He learned what to do with his computer!”

He doesn’t like the terminology but I like to say ‘he found this girl on the internet and married her’.. hehe.. They met on one of the ’social networks’ they like to say. I say eHarmony rocks! Rock on Dad.

Truth is we love Anna and am so glad for them both. SO… what self respecting son (and HIS son) could pass up one final opportunity to pull a little prank! Dad came to his own wedding dressed improperly. Note Dustins knee brace - a left over from his serious knee in jury from months back..

The wedding picture is right after the preacher declared them married and introduced them to us all. Then we all went for a fun boat ride around Dauphin Island and to the Lighthouse at the end of the ship channel. It was great fun for all. We ended the night at a local seafood place.

Much love and luck to Dad and Anna (Gramma Anna as the kids now call her) !
