Those 4 pictures are me as a CD. My WW2 vet dad was born in 1920. he died on April 3 1976 he was 56yrs old of a first & last heart attack about a week after he passed a complete VA physical. he & my mom got up for him to go to work. he worked at Eaton's MFG for 20 years with NO days missed. he was set down on a couch drinking his coffee got up took a step to the house door to go out to his truck & fell down before he reached the door to go outside & had a heart attack. he then was taken to the hospital a mile away & died 3 days later in intensive care or the ICU. he was so happy he passed the VA physical with flying colors he said a week before that. My Dad was my best friend! I was awarded the certificate of Excellence that same year by the Marines in my gym class at high school in 1976 its called the Excellence physical fitness award its the highest award a Marine can issue anyone. I was a lean 120 lbs at 5'3" tall & 17 years old in the 11th grade @ Loy Norrix High School. today is 4-15-22
