Happy Second Retirement, Daddy

Saturday marks the second retirement for my daddy. Daddy was in the army as an MP and later hired on with the police dept.  Daddy retired as a Sgt, after a 30 year career in the King County Sheriff's Dept in WA. During that time, he did more than just patrol. He was a detective and other vital positions within the the dept. To me, however, he was just daddy. I hired on later on the same dept.  We were able to work together for a few years of those years. I was at one end of the radio while he was at the other. I wish I had a picture available of him in  his police uniform. To me he was and is the most handsome man, especially in his uniform.  My daddy moved to Leavenworth, a Bavarian theme village in the Cascade mountains. In 1994 he took a job as school bus driver. He says it is because the CIA was not hiring at the time. LOL. He has driven a shuttle bus around for tourists during the many village festivals .  He even drove the bus for the fire fighters during a major fire not far from their town. He's done odd jobs around town too, made friends and been active in his church.. He's also been in 11 parades around the state wearing-- See him here----> Liederhosen and playing the alphorn. Finally, now he gets to really retire. He will have time to do more wood working projects, visit with friends at the local Starbucks and train his new puppy. This is a well deserved retirement for a man who has been working hard since his early teens. Enjoy yourself Daddy. I love you!
