How fun is that? Do you remember that he was extra neat when you were growing up?
Way to go, Pte Henry! How lovely that you have this document :-) Jo
Debi - Thank you for your comment! Good question. No my dad wasn't the overly neat type, but he was definately particular about some things, like his work even after he retired from the military.
Jo - Thank you for your comment!
I've enjoyed all your posts about your father's Navy days, but this is wonderful! Just the sort of extra detail that adds depth and color to our images of our families.
I shan't speculate on how he spent his leisure...
Susan - LOL. You should enjoy my next Wordless Wednesday post...
