"March"ing On - Birthday Shout Outs

March is a great month for birthdays. Rick's dad Frank Green or affectionately "Buck"as we know him turned 86 this month. He and his wife Wanda raised 5 children and built his beautiful home in So. Calif on about an acre or more of fruit and citrus trees. He is an amazing person. Always working on some project in the garage or house. He is a whiz at crossword puzzles, something I have never been able to do. He is a retired High School Math teacher and also taught College Algebra at night. He can fix just about anything that is broken, and has a soft spot for lonely stray cats. One in particular he is trying to patiently tame. He has been an executive ward financial clerk for 45 years (very dedicated). He still goes fishing twice a year with his brother to their sacred spot on the Madison River in Montana. Whenever we visit them our favorite thing to do is get around the fireplace and have a roaring fire and a bowl of popcorn and chat about old times or solving world problems. We love you Dad - your the BEST.
