My brother is visiting my parents today and I asked him to bring up this thread for Dad to look at.

Dad,

Happy Easter,

Randy

My Dad was a motor mac in Ron 27 on PT 374. Your Son Randy has been kind enough to share a few photos with me in the past. Just a note to say Happy Easter to you from another proud Son of a PT Boater.

Thanks everybody for dropping a line to Dad. My brother said that he enjoyed the messages and engaged in some conversation about them. Overall it was a better day than usual for him - mission accomplished.

Thanks again,
