He was the "Leader of the Band". 2.He charished my mom. If he were courting her today she could have him arrested as a stalker. He refused to take no for an answer and as a result they were married for 56 years. 3.He had a wonderful sence of humor. He was always joking and doing funny things. He seemed to have no fear of anything. Still, with all the laughter we always knew he was in charge and knew better than to cross him. (I do not mean this in a bad way. He was the grown up and we were the kids and we respected that.)

I'm pretty sure he was either severely depressed or bi-polar, which made life - for all of us - hell much of the time, since he was never on any kind of medication. However, he had plenty of good traits and I will list some of them here. I loved what a genius he was--what a great thinker. He was brilliant. Ever see that huge solar power plant off of Hwy 395? <a href="http://www.high-desert-memories.com/kramer.html" target="_blank">http://www.high-desert-memorie s.com/kramer.html</a> His idea. Long story behind it. I loved how he supported my artistic side and always cheered me on, whether it was my singing, piano playing, orchestra, or dancing. He was my #1 fan. He "got" the entertainer in me. I loved how passionate he was about everything, even though it used to embarrass me. Now I understand it. I'm like him in that way more often than not.

He refused to spank me when my mom told him to when I was bad once. 3. If it wasn't for him, I think I would be a lot more gullable than I am. I don't know that its a good thing to like about my dad but he did teach me that not everyone is who they appear to be - most of all him.
