dee_burrisFor most of my younger life, my dad owned his own business. He was a masonry contractor here in Arkansas - mostly commercial construction.
I got this photo yesterday in my email.
I had never seen it before.
Photo taken September 1958
I had no idea he had the same type of business when he and my mom lived in Florida, where I and my middle sister were born.
That's my 22 year old dad in the driver's seat. The photo was taken in 1958, the same year I was born.
Here's that street address today.
Dad will be 76 years old tomorrow.
Happy birthday, Dad.
I love you.
