Yes, the beach-front story was confessed to me amid eye-rolling giggles, that evening not so long ago. Once my daughter left for college, and I spotted the red whistle on the dress form, the rest of the story just came along.

I smiled as I read through this feel-good tale because your father's heart bursts with the warmth of remembered pride and is reflected in every word you write.
Thank you for sharing.
