My dad spent 25 years in the Air Force working as a meteorologist. After he retired, he spent 20 years teaching physics at a local college. He also wanted to teach about space, but did not find a suitable college text book. So he wrote one. He has taken groups of people to observatories and space symposiums. I remember how excited he was when the Weather Channel first started broadcasting on TV. He and my brothers installed a weather station at their cabin so you can see what is happening there at any given time. He has also collected many items pertaining to early weather stations and how weather was predicted. The other day, a man who is working with a team planning on creating displays for a visitor’s center on top of one of the mountains, called my dad. The gentleman lives out of state and received my dad’s name from another person who my dad didn’t recognize. The man heard that my dad held a collection of information and stories regarding the mountain top. My dad spent several days going through his books and pictures and doing more research. Today the man and my dad spoke on the phone. My dad gave him a brief summary of his resources. The man connected my dad with another person who will be contacting him. I loved watching my dad in his element. With all of his year’s of experience, he has a vast knowledge and enjoys sharing it with others. He perks up when he is in teaching mode and I am amazed at the information he has stored in his mind.

I Found God today appreciating my dad’s knowledge and ability to retrieve it.
