Just wanted to acknowledge my father as he turns 60 today. I really admire you and all of your accomplishments. You have always taken the time to talk with me and be a mad-scientist-mentor to me. My first gunpowder-bombs, tool-boxes, fishing-poles, camping-gear, snow-sleds, mini-bikes, tree-forts, computers and other fun stuffs came from you, dad. Thanks for teaching me that moving forward requires persistence and perspiration. Thanks for encouraging me on my way with many a computer-gift and a pat on the back for encouragement.

I love you, dad.
