Today, however, would have been my father&#8217;s 80th birthday. Edward L.

Frank Dwyer's piece on the Huffington Post today about just such a possibility does not seem unfeasible when given some thought.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=vcredit.wordpress.com&blog=2086616&post=34&subd=vcredit&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
