Thanks for sharing this. I lost my dad in 2007 and he also introduced me to BYU

fandom in the late 70's and early 80's. Your story and photos have brought back some pretty sweet memories of him and some serious emotions for me, and its going to take a few minutes to compose myself to be seen in public. But it's all good. Praying for your comfort and peace from above at this difficult time for your family.
