My dad is officially a retired man. WOO TO THE HOO!!!! He is extremely young to be retired, but that's how God planned it. He knew that my dad was too busy to work. :) My dad was a train engineer for (correct me if I'm wrong) 30 years. He was with the Indiana Rail Road for 23 years. He didn't do passenger trains (maybe a couple of times?), he mostly did cargo trains. He worked a lot over the years and I look forward to him getting to spend some time, while he's young, getting to play. He was a very well respected man/employee and had a lot of accomplishments with the railroad. I remember getting to go to work with him when I was younger. And we will never forget the company family train rides as well as the "Santa Train". I'm sure we'll go again, that's the only 'Santa' that our children go to see. And H4 needs that experience too.

Love you dad!!!

And thank you!

What a nice party.... I'm so sorry we couldn't make it. Kegan ended up having 3 games that day in IL so we were out in that horrible heat all day until 9 pm.... Looks like you guys had a great day! Hearts and Hugs
