What a wonderful question Miss Wilma!
My Father taught me to love the outdoors and he taught me how to iron and most importantly he taught me how to weave humor and lightheartedness in my everyday life. He is such a jot to me. I am so blessed to have him in my life!

My dad was very strict, and I thought it was mean but now I see how right he was, he is so quick to say what a good family he has. None of us have ever been in any trouble, now I do have a brother the one MJ wanted on the trade that is full of mischief ,but just fun stuff

Well Wilma knows my dad quite well - they were siblings! haha. I have to say that probably the biggest thing I got from him is patience and to have a sense of humor. He's always creating things and Mary Jane has seen one of his goofy "inventions". Also, valuing friendship and family. Life is too short to sweat over the small stuff...make the most of it and have a good laugh while you're at it. :)

I also learned something else from my dad...and, it's just a generational thing and probably because he had such a tough childhood, but...if I'm ever lucky enough TO have children, I'll make sure to let them know that I'm proud of them and show them affection. Don't get me wrong, I was crazy about daddy, but he had this "distance" about him, and didn't show affection much--not a hugger AT ALL. It wasn't until after he died that I received a 4 page letter from a co-worker of his in Delaware, telling me how much he admired my father and how my father had been sortof a surrogate dad to him--and he went on to write about how proud my father was of me, how much he adored me and thought I hung the moon....which was sort of a surprise, I guess. So, I also learned that it's important to let folks know you love them, to hug for no good reason, before it's too late.
