Thirteen Things about my Dad!
1…. He was born in 1940 in New Orleans, Louisiana
2…. He wrote his High Schools (Destrehan High) Alma Mater and the Fight Song. They still sing it today at every school function and game.
3…. He is responsible for my taste in music! :-) (Well, the majority anyways...)
4…. He is the "go to" person for anything Jazz, Blues and Classic related.
5…. He was a lab tech in the Army
6…. He can sing, play the piano and the drums.
7…. He has read sooo many books, they are piled up next to the book shelves.
8…. He used to sing me to sleep when I was little and it was always either "Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ra" or " Daddy's little Girl". I now sing those songs to my children.
9…. Sometimes he used to tell me a story instead and it was "Goldilocks", "Jack and the Beanstalk" or "The three little pigs".
10…. We both read the last Harry Potter Book (The Half Blood Prince) at the same time to see who finished first. He was one hour and 14 minutes quicker than I with a total of 18 hours and 29 minutes!
11…. He used to be a Square Dance Caller, one of the first in Germany. From 1959 to 1968 and then from 1990 until 2004.
12…. His favorite actress is Audrey Hepburn. He really loves her in "My fair Lady" and "Sharade".
13…. I reunited him with his mother in 2001 (after 32 years) and he talks to her almost every day now.
