Hi everyone,
Father's day is coming up and it's not just about new rockets!
My dad died last year (May 10) at 73. It was completely unexpected since he had been in exceptional health his entire life. Totally shocked the entire family.
The story goes like this. In about 1960 he graduated with a degree in geography and started working for the DoD's Defense Mapping Agency (probably had a different name then, and a different name now). After a little while there, he moved to the Census Bureau, got tired of the rat-race and became self employed in rural Wisconsin - from this point on my memories are much more consistent.
Anyway, some of you probably recall there were certain important events which transpired during the early 60s with our latin neighbor Cuba. I only learned last week, that my father was working on photo analysis and map making for the Bay of Pigs and Cuban Missile Crisis! How I would have liked him to tell me this!
Kevin
