River: Dad... 22

[mdlbear]

My father died 22 years ago today, about a year after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. That was only three weeks after my mother-in-law's death from a stroke on January 20th. Not a good way to start the year.

Dad introduced me to folk music, computers, and science fiction; I started out reading his books on computer design, Communications of the ACM (among others), Science, American Scientist, and the copies of Galaxy and Astounding (later, Analog) that he borrowed from a coworker. We disagreed on the relative merits of OS-2 and Linux, but very little else.

I guess after 22 years there isn't a whole lot more to be said.
