Mama Zetta never spoke much about Dad, but under the circumstances I suppose it was the right thing to do. I am a tinkler, too. I graduated from Nursing School like my mother, Zetta in my state of California. I served six years in the Navy and have been a Registered Nurse for thirty years now. Presently, I work in beautiful Palm Springs, Ca. and am married to a wonderful woman I met at work. We'll be celebrating our 20th anniversary this year (2015) and have two wonderful step-daughters, Amber and Jessica. I also have two step-grand-children, Maya who is four and Julian who is 4 months old. My wife is a gardener and raises a small flock of chickens in the rear yard. My mother passed away just after my 18th birthday in Lewiston Maine and joined the Navy 3 years later.
My deepest sympathy for your loss. I pray that all is well with everyone.
