Coming Home

One of my favorite memories is when dad would step through the front door after a day at Thomas and Kolkmann Engineering. I'd run to greet him and immediately ask him for a "mint and a gum". Usually he had a Certs candy with green flecks in it and a stick of Doublemint gum. I would wrap the gum around the mint and eat them together. I must have swallowed the gum; I don't remember chewing it!
