5. Gary.
He's a very interesting guy and a good friend, and certainly one of the fonts of my own progressive politics.

7. Good to hear it, SOteric and Lautremont
My dad did not come from a Democratic family, but he thought for himself. Was a Clinton fan (some of that is because he thought he could win,) and has gotten more liberal.

13. His name was George.
He was a good guy. Far from perfect, but he always did his best.

He was a Democrat. I don't know if he was an atheist, but he sure wasn't a Christian. He would yell DAMMIT, but he never used obscenities, and he was quite prudish.

I was his baby girl, and he spoiled me rotten. He had a drinking problem, and sometimes I hated him, and sometimes I loved him. I'm happy that we had enough time together after I grew up that we got to be friends, because I was always friends with my mom.

Thanks mvd for this thread. I've never before really thought about how cool it is to be friends with your dad.

14. My dad- Robert
Edited on Mon Jun-19-06 12:08 AM by bumblebee1
Everyone called him Bob, except for my grandmother. She'd call him Bobby. In fact, if he were still alive, he would have been 80 this past Thursday.

My father-in-law's name was Gregory, Greg for short.

30. My dad's name was Ernest...
He was a great old Roosevelt Democrat, with a mind as broad as all outdoors. I miss him but I'm glad he's not alive to see what's going on with our country now. It would break his heart.
