Abstract
In this chapter, I reflect on my father’s life, his work and his art, as I know them from growing up with his idealistic enthusiasm and hearing his stories. Dad, now 91, continues to live his long and active life. As a young boy during the Depression, he saw prairie farmers bringing in grain by horse-drawn wagon; later he served in WW2, and later still he saw the inventions of penicillin and cortisone, television and computers.
