I learned something new about my father through an old news article that came up when searching his name. I won’t say what it was, but it is something personally meaningful to me that explains some childhood memories that never made sense to me before.

For curiosity I tried the same search for his name on google.com and went through about ten pages of results without finding this link.



Thank you so much for sharing. I didn't expect this at all, and this is probably the most rewarding thing to hear that has come out of my work personally in a while.

Best wishes.


This turned up the old school year books for my dad, including some photos I would probably not have seen otherwise. Saved into my family archives now as something for my son to see about his grandpa in the future.


I momentarily thought "Me too", but it turns out there was a kid about 10 year younger than my dad who went to the same-named school at the same time but in a different State.

So ultimately all that searching his name revealed was that he's never attempted to cultivate an online presence.


Thank you. You inspired me to do the same. Nice to remember what my parents accomplished.
